Not a lot of original thought or content in here, but they do a nice job of pooling concepts and tools to try to form a holistic plan for developing teacher leadership. The tools are probably the most valuable aspect of the book and why I might pick it back up. I think they scratch the surface on analyzing teacher leadership through a true racial equity and justice lens, but do not seem to have done the work to be proficient at analyzing how whiteness shows up in the research they are citing and in their own suggestions added on it.

Read this as the textbook for a Teacher Leadership course. It was easy to read and had some important insights. I think it could have delved deeper into some concepts. However, there is only so deep a book on leadership can go.
I liked the activities the authors provided and it felt like a practical book to have on hand.

I thought this book had helpful steps for making sure teacher leaders are equipped with skills to lead. It’s kind of like a First days of school type book but for teachers who are looking to step into more leadership. As an instructional coach it helps me keep things in mind when developing my teachers.

I would definitely recommend this book for a book study or for those entering a truly formal leadership role such as a coach position. The authors come across as still connected to the realities of teaching which is refreshing.

Had to read this for one of my masters classes. So, I didn’t read it super in depth, and I skimmed some parts, but I liked the organization and content for the book. Good stuff for aspiring teacher leaders.

If it wasn't for my grad class, I would not be reading this book. That being said, it was a good and easy book to follow.

As far as texts go it was an easy read. The chapters were fairly short and easy to read. Lots of interesting ideas to consider.
