The goal of a Senior Team Lead is to build the instructional capacity of a team of teachers, developing a culture of continuous learning that maximizes staff and student morale and performance. Through distributive leadership structures in schools, Senior Team Leads—in collaboration with the rest of the Instructional Leadership Team—increase opportunities for feedback and growth from content experts to drive increased student achievement, while building their own capacity as leaders.

As members of the Instructional Leadership Team, Senior Team Leads play critical roles in helping schools reach their student goals. Senior Team Leads spend part of the day providing high-quality instruction in their own classroom and part of the day developing a team of teachers’ ability to deliver rigorous, culturally responsive instruction that leads to high academic achievement. As an expert in their content area, Senior Team Leads facilitate collaborative team time, provide 1‑on‑1 observation and coaching to peers, and oversee the end‑to‑end LEAP growth and performance evaluation for each teacher on their team.
