We're excited to invite you to participate in the discussion by joining Commit to Lead, a new online community that makes it easy for educators across the country to share ideas for teacher leadership and collaborate to bring them to fruition. Commit to Lead allows members to provide feedback and vote on each other's ideas -- so that the most promising and talked about ideas rise to the top.
Here's how it works: An "idea" is just that -- a brief description (fewer than 1,500 characters, or approximately 300 words) of what you hope to do to advance teacher leadership in your school, district or state to address a pressing problem in education. Great ideas will go beyond the statement of a goal or aspiration to articulate the problem or need you hope to address and how you plan to address it. In addition to your short description, you will be prompted to fill out a quick form to give us a better sense of where your idea fits under the large umbrella of teacher leadership and how the community can help. You can also tag your idea with keywords, such as "career ladder" or "middle school," so that others with similar interests can easily find it.
Note that Teach to Lead will not post political statements or advertisements for paid services, only genuine ideas and input to advance teacher leadership. As such, all posts and comments must be approved by community moderators before they are published for public view.
Once your idea has been approved and appears on the website, you can promote your idea on Facebook and Twitter by clicking the social media icons next to your post. You'll be notified of comments to your idea by email, so that you can respond. Let the conversation begin!
We look forward to seeing your ideas roll in! Best of luck in the new school year and thank you for your leadership.
Sincerely,
The Teach to Lead Team
