Imagine having the opportunity to hear from 21 colleagues about their personal leadership journeys-and to get their advice. Leadership by and for Science Teachers is just such an opportunity. Author Rodger Bybee provides the insights and inspiration you need to rise to the challenges of leadership for the benefit of science education, your science students, and yourself. At the book's core are stories of pathways to leadership as told by STEM educators in a wide variety of career stages and positions. The stories cover two complementary topics: (1) leadership by science teachers and (2) leadership by those who provide professional learning to enhance teachers' knowledge, skills, and ability to lead. Through the profiles provided, you'll receive information about roles you may want to assume as a leader. Delve into candid views of the difficulties leaders face and be inspired by their contributions and recommendations. The book concludes with Bybee's synthesis of the contributors' reflections on leadership, along with his views on purpose, relationships, integrity, equity, and the roles these play.
