Leadership Framework

In this chapter, we describe how the Appalachian Mathematics Partnership (AMP) used the PRIME Leadership Framework (National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics, 2008) to inform professional development activities that respond to teachers' content and pedagogical needs and cultivate emerging mathematics leadership. The PRIME Leadership Framework fit philosophically with the goals of the project, identifying the reflective, knowledgeable leader, including teachers as classroom leaders, as essential to committing knowledge to action. Further, AMP aligned the leadership framework with its underlying principles for professional development of engaging teachers in meaningful content connected to classroom experiences and high leverage teaching practices, providing a model for how projects can embed meaningful interpretations of leadership in content-oriented professional development.

A major goal of K-12 education is to create a student-centered classroom where educators are teaching to increase critical thinking skills, promote problem-based learning, and differentiate instruction. However, the reality is that many educators are challenged by the difficult task of creating such a learning environment in their classrooms. In this chapter, the authors will introduce a Flipped Classroom Professional Development project, a Title II Part A Higher Education Improving Teacher Quality State Grant initiative. This project centered on two goals. First, the authors sought to teach the flipped classroom model through an integrated literacy and math approach while “mathematizing” read-aloud instruction for primary and elementary grade educators. Secondly, the chapter describes efforts to expand teachers' repertoire of effective instructional, blended technology tools for teaching math and literacy. The authors will conclude with the potential of the Flipped Classroom model in K-5 settings based upon this professional development framework.

Lessons Learnt

<p>This professional development project, known as Literacy Leadership Project, enabled four Foundation Phase teachers in South Africa to implement the Guided Reading approach. Developed by American researchers Fountas and Pinnell (1996), Guided Reading helps elementary students strengthen their phonemic awareness, vocabulary, reading comprehension and fluency in small group activities. Over an 8-month period, lessons learnt came from data collected from this professional development included workshop activities, classroom observations, teachers’ group discussions and students’ artefacts. Results indicated improvement in students’ literacy engagement and motivation because of the use of levelled books, oral reading and group activities</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong>  Guided Reading programme; foundation phase; childhood literacy; teacher professional development; literacy leadership; South Africa</p>
