Distributive Leadership

 Identify whether distributive leadership is used for capacity building at your school site.

Explain how it is being used. If it is not, describe how it could benefit your school site to apply this concept.

I believe that distributive leadership is used for capacity building at my school site.  They use it by having many different leaders in the school.  There are so many different ways for teachers to be leaders in a school site.  My school site has different leaders for different groups within the school.  These leaders have different responsibilities.  They are mostly responsible for delegating roles for the rest of the group.  Delegation is a difficult job.  It takes a special person to be able to do this.  The person has to really want the group to succeed.     My school site uses this type of distributive leadership to benefit the school by allowing people to step up and use their talents.  When people realize their potential, they can help others find their potential.  

Leadership Theory

Leadership in a school setting is very important.  It is important because in every setting, someone must step up.  Someone has to take charge and help the group find the direction they should be going.  I do believe that teachers should have curriculum based leadership because they should always be leading with what they are teaching.  This means that the teachers could back up what they are leading with their curriculum.  I think that this could definitely benefit the school because it would help the school understand what they are teaching.  They would have a better understanding of why they are teaching what they are teaching.
