|||
Teaching as Leadership includes a framework that explains the traits of Teach For America's most successful teachers. This framework is categorized into six leadership principles:<ref name="corps_experience" /> |
|||
===Set Ambitious Goals for Student Achievement=== |
|||
Successful teachers in low-income communities set measurable goals for their students. Farr explains that these goals, along with strategies of investment, help both the students and teacher gain the motivation to overcome other obstacles and gain academic achievement. |
|||
===Invest Students and Families in Working Hard to Achieve the Goals=== |
|||
According to the book, effective teachers work with students and their families to reverse low expectations that undermine a students ability to learn: |
|||
<blockquote>These teachers change students’ belief that intelligence is a fixed characteristic and show them that if they work hard enough, they will “get smart.”<ref name="corps_experience">{{cite web |url=http://www.teachforamerica.org/the-corps-experience/becoming-an-exceptional-teacher/ |title=Becoming an Exceptional Teacher |website=www.teachforamerica.org |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100805111619/http://www.teachforamerica.org/the-corps-experience/becoming-an-exceptional-teacher |archive-date=2010-08-05}}</ref>{{Dubious|date=June 2023}}<!-- Does the book state this?

|||
===Plan Purposefully to Achieve the Vision of Student Success=== |
|||
Additionally, effective classroom leaders plan backwards with every mission they set forth on. These teachers ensure that every aspect of their work is built upon well-thought-out goals and effective strategies. |
|||
===Execute Plans with Judgment and Adjustments=== |
|||
[[Teach For America]]{{Dubious|date=June 2023}}<!-- Does the book state this? If so, where? If not, why does this article (about the book) reproduce it? --> states that: |
|||
<blockquote>Strong classroom leaders are effective executors, making good judgments about when to follow through on their plans and when to adjust them in light of incoming data. They offer their students consistent, caring, demanding leadership, and constantly seek to maximize the time students have to work hard toward their goals.<ref name="corps_experience" /></blockquote> |
|||
===Continuously Increase Effectiveness to Accelerate Student Learning=== |
|||
By critiquing their own work and constantly looking for new ways to improve their skills and leadership, effective teachers ensure that they are truly having an impact. These teachers use data to ensure that they are reaching their goals.{{Citation needed|date=February 2023}} |
|||
===Work Relentlessly to Navigate Challenges=== |
|||
Finally, Teach For America{{Dubious|date=June 2023}}<!-- Does the book state this? If so, where? If not, why does this article (about the book) reproduce it? --> states that: |
|||
<blockquote>In many low-income communities, schools with the least capacity serve children with the greatest need. To make significant academic progress with students, highly effective teachers go above and beyond the traditional role of “teacher” and do whatever it takes to lead their students to academic success.<ref name="corps_experience" /></blockquote> |
