DESCRIPTION:The development and practice of teacher leadership is directly
  aided and inhibited by the conditions for learning that exist within a sc
 hool setting and the policy context in which it operates. The seminar draw
 s on the creation of the Teacher Leadership for School Improvement graduat
 e degree program at the University of Florida and the subsequent theoretic
 al model for teacher leadership development that emerged from its implemen
 tation in contexts across the State. The model was later validated with te
 acher leaders working in schools in England\, Scotland\, Wales\, and Irela
 nd. It points to necessary core experiences in teaching\, research\, and s
 ervice within teachers’ journeys to leadership\, as well as the supports
  and obstacles that contributed to or diminished outcomes. Practical illus
 trations of the model will be surfaced from recent program developments.\n
 \nNoting that external support from a university and philanthropy were key
  facilitators\, the presentation entertains the question: if external supp
 ort seems necessary\, what hope do we have of institutionalizing teacher l
 eadership within schools?\n
