Teachership
​in Southern Tioga School District

Picture
Dr. Sam Rotella (not pictured) and his team at Southern Tioga School District, along with Dr. Reed created a concept called “Teachership.” This concept integrates exceptional leading with exceptional teaching. This integration removes the barrier between classroom-based professional learning and administrative leadership by inviting administrators to participate in classroom-based professional learning and teachers to participate in leadership activities without leaving the classroom. Some examples of Teachership include strategy walks, lab classrooms, and instructional rounds.

​LFPA member testimonials after hearing Dr. Anthony Muhammad present both as a keynote and breakout session leader at the Professional Learning Communities at Work Institute (Solution Tree) in Pittsburgh, PA, in July 2017.

"Dr. Muhammad’s keynote was inspiring, powerful, and a call to action. Any educator who cares about equity but is unsure of how to begin the process of changing the culture of his/her organization will find Dr. Muhammad to be a valuable resource as well as a practical guide in getting started with the essential process of teacher collaboration and cultural shift."

Dr. Stacy Winslow
​Assistant to the Superintendent for Curriculum, Instruction, & Assessment
Derry Township School District

"Anthony provided research-based strategies to improve the culture in any school. His charismatic delivery of honest accounts of improving instructional outcomes for all students gave me a feeling of empowerment and a belief that as a school leader, I too, could guide my staff toward true cultural change."

Mr. Erick Valentin
Middle School Principal
​Hershey Middle School



"Anthony Muhammad is a captivating speaker who educates and motivates his audience every time. It’s an honor and privilege to hear Anthony speak. His knowledge, commitment and passion to transforming school culture and to help educators is undeniable. No matter how many times you have heard him speak, he will always leave you with something new to reflect upon and take back to your school."
