Abstract

Four early childhood teacher educators used the case study methodology to discuss strategies and practices to develop pre-service teacher leaders during teacher preparation programs at three Ohio universities. The strategies used are grounded in the work accomplished by The Teacher Leadership Exploratory Consortium, specifically the Teacher Leader Model Standards (TLMS). The TLMS outline high, demanding, but reasonable expectations for teachers; they are cross-walked with a variety of specialized professional associations (SPAs). Our early childhood case study strategies can be modified to be effective in multiple licensure areas.
