Development of a Suggested Curriculum for A Graduate Program on Teacher Leadership in Turkey

Öz

Current leadership theories suggest that no single person can perform all the leadership characteristics and behaviors in an institution and that leadership can be performed in collaboration of different individuals with their knowledge and skills at different times and in different situations. Today it is seen that many countries offer certificate or graduate programs for teacher leadership which has emerged from the above-mentioned understanding and which has been widely accepted. This study also aims to examine the teacher leadership programs in the USA, to evaluate their sample content, practice and studies as well as to come up with a theoretical framework to guide the content and objectives for the courses, practices and training of graduate programs for teacher leadership in Turkey.

Türkiye İçin Öğretmen Liderliği Lisansüstü Eğitim Programı Önerisi Geliştirme

Öz

Güncel liderlik yaklaşımları, çoğunlukla herhangi bir kurumda hiç kimsenin gerekli bütün liderlik özelliklerini ve davranışlarını tek başına yerine getiremeyeceği ve liderliğin farklı durumlarda ve zamanlarda bilgi ve becerileri doğrultusunda farklı bireylerin katkılarıyla bütüncül olarak yerine getirilebileceği anlayışını vurgulamaktadır. Pek çok ülkede, bahsi geçen anlayışla ortaya çıkan ve yaygın bir şekilde kabul gören öğretmen liderliğine yönelik sertifika programları, öğretmen liderliği/lider öğretmen lisansüstü programları yürütülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’ndeki (ABD) öğretmen liderliği programları incelenerek örnek içerik, uygulama ve çalışmaların değerlendirilmesi ve Türkiye’deki tümüyle öğretmen liderliği eksenli açılabilecek lisansüstü programları ile ilgili derslerin, uygulamaların ve eğitimlerinin kazanımlarına ve içeriklerine temel oluşturacak teorik bir çerçeve yaratılması amaçlanmaktadır.
