An Empirical Study on the Evaluation Model of Teacher's Leadership in Primary and Middle Schools
Teacher leadership is one of the core teacher qualities and an important variable that affects the quality of school education and teaching.The study adopts a mixed research method,firstly,through interviews with 27 primary and secondary school teachers,a six-dimensional theoretical model is initially constructed,including"association leadership","professional learning leadership","instruction leadership","assessment leadership","community leadership"and"policy leadership".In order to further verify the rationality of this model,946 primary and second-ary school teachers were selected as subjects in this study.Through exploratory factor analysis,confirmatory factor a-nalysis and reliability and validity test,the results support the six-dimension model of teacher leadership,and the re-search scale has good reliability and validity.Basedon the evaluation and analysis of teachers'leadership by using this model,it is found that association leadership performs best,while teachers'community leadership and policy leadership is relatively weak,and there are significant differences in professional titles,teaching years,and whether to assume positions.The research puts forward strategies to improve teacher leadership based on the results of the as-sessment.
