Education professionals address teacher leadership in the context of advancing the expertise and leadership of peers, thereby expanding education professionals' spheres of influence beyond the walls of the classroom. They explore mentoring and coaching models designed to promote the professional growth of their colleagues. They learn and apply skills for mentoring novice teachers and for engaging in coaching relationships with peers at all stages of the teacher development cycle.
