Leadership Paths For every yes answer you gave to items 1, 5, 7, 8, and 9, fill in a block on the shared leadership path. For every yes answer you gave to items 2, 3, 4, 6, and 10, fill in a block on the traditional leadership path. Now compare the paths. Are you farther along on the shared or traditional path to leadership? Is this the path you want to take? If so, what kinds of questions would you ask principals when you are interviewing for teaching positions?
	Yes No Not Sure As a teacher I expect to take part in making decisions about my school. My principal will establish the vision and mission for my school. It is not my role to question decisions my principal makes. The central office, superintendent, curriculum directors should establish the direction of my school. It’s important for teacher to collaborate and make decisions about school improvement. If my school’s test scores fall, then the central office should set goals and objectives for my schools. It is the teacher’s responsibility to understand and take into account parental goals and objectives. Teachers should involve students in determining their needs based on results of standardized and in-class assessments. New teachers need to understand how to collaborate with others. Experts from the central office should determine the professional development needs for teachers.
