Role Summary
The Lead Teacher role has three key responsibilities areas - teaching, coaching teachers, and project management (see this in a 3 min video here). These responsibilities cumulatively imply co-leading the school with your Principal, which makes the Lead Teacher role an ideal stepping stone to School Leadership!
