This study tracks the progress of one Iowa school district over the course of three years through its implementation of a Teacher Leadership and Compensation (TLC) model, designed in response to a statewide TLC system initiative. A survey administered at baseline and at the conclusion of each of three pilot years measured teacher leadership development, identified specific areas for improvements, and guided the district’s teacher leadership support efforts. Scores from the items demonstrated evidence of reliability and district leaders reported that resulting data were beneficial to an implementation plan that yielded increased planned retention and improved practice, two goals for the TLC model. Implications for the use of the survey tool, policy, and practice around teacher leadership development are discussed in the context of the collective leadership of teachers and administrators together.

Definitions of concepts “acmeological competence”, “leadership development”, “leader”, “leadership” are given as well. The theory on a teacher’s leadership and leadership development are given. The acmeological competence formation in the teacher’s leadership development has been noted as well. The article recommends using the acmeological approach in the formation and development of the teacher’s personality, which will be necessary in his leadership development. According to the authors’ viewpoint, acmeological competence and leadership are developed on the basis of such personal qualities as responsibility, independence, the ability to solve problems creatively, initiative, the ability to set one’s goals, taking an active part, success-motivation, self-motivation, self-knowledge, self-improvement, self-education, etc. The most important quality in the development of certain aspects of personality is to reveal internal psychology of a person. Hence, the authors come to the conclusion that having formed acmeological competence, the teacher will be able to be on their best and achieve goals, among which there is also leadership development.

Teacher leadership is pivotal for the development of educational institutions. However, teachers’ perceptions about teacher leadership have been under explored. In this study, the researchers review sixteen studies conducted in the USA, South Africa and other European, Asian, and Middle Eastern countries. Four themes emerged after analysis of the texts: perceptions of teachers about teacher leadership practices, factors influencing teacher leadership, teacher leadership development, and barriers to teacher leadership. Results show that teacher leaders are engaged in mentoring teachers, coordinating with administration, curriculum development and implementation, and subject matter development. The physical environment of the school, teachers’ age, experience, qualification, and support from the administration also influences teachers’ perceptions about teacher leadership. Teacher leadership development is influenced by teachers’ own beliefs, principals’ support and teachers’ professional development. Some barriers to teacher leadership are also discussed in this paper.
