There's no question that teacher leadership is more important than ever, especially during times of crisis. Empowering teachers to step into leadership roles—both formal and informal — has a positive impact on students. In a 2017 study, Richard Ingersoll, et. al., found that when teachers play an important role in school improvement efforts, there is a close tie with improved student achievement. As Peter DeWitt wrote in 2014, "A school that has teacher and student voice as part of their practice can look at ... initiatives and make them better ... and stronger."
