If you've ever fantasized about how you would do things differently if you were in charge, check out these experimental efforts to place classroom teachers in charge of their schools. These educators are called "teacher-leaders" and they are bringing fresh ideas and proactive energy to positions of power.
While some parents worry about the potential unintended negative side effects of such a program, many proponents suggest that teachers who have ownership in running schools will be more satisfied and effective.
What do you think? Would you like to try your hand at running the school for a year?
