Teach Like a Queen explores teacher leadership like never
before...
This exciting and unique text brings together leadership theory, popular
culture and action research to inspire and empower female teachers into
leadership roles. Teach Like a Queen celebrates the successes of
iconic women and translates their respective brilliance into becoming
successful, dynamic and high-performing practitioners and educational
leaders.
Focusing on seven key inspirational women as archetypes, the authors
address emerging professional issues which will benefit classroom
practitioners and leaders, each correlating to a different Nolan
principle and inspirational queen. Inspired by the incredible work of
WomenEd, including a Foreword from Vivienne Porritt, each lesson
features:
- a constructed definition of each respective icon and how that
translates into the teaching profession;
- a case study exploring how a female school leader experienced her own
Queen moment and the leadership lesson it taught her;
- key lessons for aspiring leaders; and
- takeaway actions to channel your inner queen.
Illustrating how a diverse cross-section of women personify the
leadership strength of their assigned principle in practice, Teach Like
a Queen will empower female teachers to aspire to lead and equip them
with practical strategies to secure and fulfil leadership roles.
