Teacher Leadership and School/System Change: Exploring the Contemporary Evidence
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article presents the findings from a review of contemporary scholarly work on teacher leadership, with a focus on the international evidence concerning the relationship between teacher leadership and school/system change. The PRISMA approach (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) was applied to review contemporary scholarly evidence over ten years, resulting in the identification of 26 journal articles that fully met the inclusion and exclusion criteria set for the review. The findings from this review suggest that, under the right conditions, teacher leadership can contribute to the process of school and system change. This review also highlights the need for more consolidated empirical work on the impact and outcomes of teacher leadership.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
