Purpose – Leadership development has been replete with a skill-based focus. However, learning and development can be constrained by the deeper level, hidden self-knowledge that influences how people process information and construct meaning. The purpose of this paper is to answer the question of how people construct and develop their leader identity. The authors intend to shed light on the critical facets of identity changes that occur as individuals grapple with existing understanding of the self and of leadership, transform them, and absorb new personalized notions of leadership into their identity, resulting in a higher level of confidence acting in the leadership domain. Design/methodology/approach – The authors conducted a grounded theory study of participants and their mentors in a lay leadership development program in a Catholic diocese. The authors inductively drew a conceptual model describing how leader identity evolves. Findings – The findings suggested that leader identity development was not a uni-dimensional event. Rather, it was a multi-faceted process that encompassed three key facets of identity development: expanding boundaries, recognizing interdependences, and discerning purpose. Further, it is the co-evolvement of these three facets and people’s broadening understanding of leadership that led to a more salient leader identity. Research limitations/implications – The model addresses the gap in literature on how leader identity develops specifically. It enriches and expands existing knowledge on leader identity development by answering the question of what specific changes are entailed when an individual constructs his or her identity as a leader. Practical implications – The findings could be used to guide leadership development professionals to build targeted learning activities around key components of leader identity development, diagnose where people are in their leadership journey, set personalized goals with them, and provide pointed feedback to learners in the process of developing their leader identity. Originality/value – The authors provide an in-depth and integrative account of the contents and mechanisms involved in the construction of the leader identity. The authors zero in on the critical transformations entailed in the process to establish and develop a leader identity.

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.

Learning by integrating different topics from one subject to another helps students build a complete image of the topic they are working on and makes the learning process effective and meaningful. The theme „The Bulgarian revival and the road to immortality“ is suitable for conducting an interdisciplinary lesson, which overlaps these subjects: Bulgarian language, history, music, fine arts and information technologies. Through the time machine, the seventh-graders from our school found themselves in a revival café, where they witnessed an interview with Dobri Chintulov, Kiro Tuleshkov and Ivan Vazov. Touching on these personalities, the students easily understood and interpreted questions related to the changes that occurred in Bulgarian society in the renaissance era, the change of the ordinary Bulgarian and the main directions in which the Bulgarian renaissance developed. In pertinent moments they sang Renaissance songs, with brush and paints recreated they images of Bulgarian Revivals. Their appreciation for those personalities who worked with all their dedication to resurrect the Bulgarian and led it to new heights was felt. The preferred method is suitable because it develops teamwork skills, self-assessment and self-knowledge, improves their communication skills, builds their personal qualities, which is a huge advantage compared to the classical form of training.
