Strategies by Pedro Ayuso

Strategies
Identify Barriers
“Teacher leaders need support to overcome stubborn barriers created by the norms of school culture—autonomy, egalitarianism, and deference to seniority.”
Identifying barriers is very important in the teaching-learning process, because is the first step in this complex process, I identify myself with this strategy maybe because I think is important to prioritize and this is related with identifying the barriers. Once as teachers we had identified the barriers we can put hands on and manage to overcome and go ahead. For that we need all the knowledge we had acquired, in the school, in our experience and so on. It is important to ask for opinions to our colleagues, because they can see the same situation in a very different way than us.
Recognize the Importance of Teacher Leaders
This is the most important for me, because is the beginning of all. Recognition of the importance of teacher leaders plays a vital role in the development of schools as a community, when teachers are motivated they become dramatically better in and outside the classroom because the job of the teacher goes beyond the classroom. Great teachers inspire and motivate students. I identify too much with this strategy, because I want to be a leader and being an efficient leader implies this kind of recognition and motivation within my colleagues.
