Teacher Leadership and Craft Knowledge
The NLGL program has provided me various opportunities to use new technology and incorporate technology into my lessons within my classroom. Because of this, I have crafted a a plan of action that will allow me to not only utilize my new set of skills and research, but also to help my colleagues with the implementation of the new technology and skill sets. It is important that we lead the teaching profession in a positive direction that not only incorporates the use of new technologies, but also the openness to new research based strategies.

Throughout ECI 508, Teachers as Leaders, many teacher leaders were shown and portrayed through film. This allowed us to see a wide array of types of teacher leaders and how film is able to depict, whether it be positive or negative, teachers within their classroom. My partner and I chose to look at The Ron Clark Story, a true story based on a North Carolina native's real life events. This movie shows a true teacher leader. This is another great example on how we can use technology, even as simple as YouTube and movies, to help students understand content within the classroom.
