Overview

Teach Like a Queen explores teacher leadership like never before... This exciting and unique text brings together leadership theory, popular culture and action research to inspire and empower female teachers into leadership roles. Teach Like a Queen celebrates the successes of iconic women and translates their respective brilliance into becoming successful, dynamic and high-performing practitioners and educational leaders. Focusing on seven key inspirational women as archetypes, the authors address emerging professional issues which will benefit classroom practitioners and leaders, each correlating to a different Nolan principle and inspirational queen. Inspired by the incredible work of WomenEd, including a Foreword from Vivienne Porritt, each lesson features: a constructed definition of each respective icon and how that translates into the teaching profession; a case study exploring how a female school leader experienced her own Queen moment and the leadership lesson it taught her; key lessons for aspiring leaders; and takeaway actions to channel your inner queen. Illustrating how a diverse cross-section of women personify the leadership strength of their assigned principle in practice, Teach Like a Queen will empower female teachers to aspire to lead and equip them with practical strategies to secure and fulfil leadership roles.
