Teaching As Collective Leadership (TACL)
Teaching As Collective Leadership (TACL) is a call for a different approach to education, one whose purpose puts growing student leadership at its core. An actionable and locally customizable framework for teachers, teacher coaches, and program designers to grow students as leaders of a better future for themselves, for their communities, and for all of us. The framework is based on insights emerging from collective studies of transformational classrooms around the world.
The Teaching As Collective Leadership Guide is a compilation of crowd-sourced learnings from thousands of diverse contributors from across and beyond the Teach For All network that offers guidance on how to develop students holistically so they can shape a better future for themselves, their communities, and all of us.
