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.

"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."
