Excellent quote from the book - "Many teachers, however, continue to be reluctant to claim the title and identity of leader. Teachers' reluctance stems in part from persistent, widely held ideas that define leadership as work hierarchically, having all the answers, and holding power over others." "Teachers hesitate to call themselves leaders because the egalitarian culture of schools treats all teachers as being the same and school administrators as having more authority. In other words, although teachers may view each other differently based on their years of experience, teachers are teachers; they are not administrators. Teachers fear being perceived as bragging when they share information about their practice. And teachers who decide to step into formal leadership positions, such as assistant principal or district administrator, risk rejection, isolation, and resistance from their former peers."
