Becoming STEM Teacher Leaders offers a fresh perspective on teacher leadership development by centering the voices of early-career STEM teachers working together to find their unique goals for and pathways into teacher leadership. Any teacher is capable of positively influencing their colleagues and school, but may not have access to the kinds of examples that would effectively guide them. These stories, all from science and math teachers in their first five years in the profession, provide authentic insights about leadership, identity, and community, what it means to become a teacher leader, and how teachers can lead change in their classrooms and schools. Issues such as math and science curricula, collaboration and power dynamics, advocacy for equitable policies and practices, and students' and teachers' well-being take center stage. Whether inspiring, funny, sobering, or nuanced, each chapter illustrates leadership strategies that readers can explore and encourages all STEM teachers to see themselves as teacher leaders.
