- Abstract
The study of educational leadership suffers from a lack of precision in definition of key concepts (Modeste et al., 2020; Wang, 2018). This is particularly true for teacher leadership (Wenner & Campbell, 2017) where the core leadership practices that teacher leaders engage in are collaborative in nature and take many forms, including mentoring other teachers, coordinating professional development, and leading professional learning communities (Klein, Taylor, et al., 2018; Lai & Cheung 2015; Mujis & Harris 2007; Von Dohlen & Karvonen 2018). In this paper, we discuss three key constructs of collective action: coordination, cooperation, and collaboration. We discuss the centrality of these concepts in modeling how teacher leadership is related to decision-making and teacher well-being in schools. We propose a consistent usage of these terms that will allow wider application when using international data sets to study the effects of teacher leadership.
