Abstract
This article presents the findings of an exploratory study of teacher leadership roles in a metropolitan K-8 school district. These findings suggest that the development and performance of these roles are mediated by the organizational contexts in which they are established. They thus suggest that teacher leadership should be approached as an issue of organizational development rather than solely as an issue of individual empowerment.Keywords
