These teacherpreneurs embody the concept that teachers can teach as well as lead the transformation of teaching and learning. It's about empowering expert teachers who can buoy the image of teaching and enforce standards among their ranks while all along making sure that their colleagues as well as education policymakers and the public know what works best for students.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book follows a small group of teacherpreneurs in their first year. We join their journey toward becoming teacher leaders whose work is not defined by administrative fiat, but by their knowledge of students and drive to influence policies that allow them and their colleagues to teach more effectively. The authors trace the teacherpreneurs' steps--and their own--in the effort to determine what it means to define and execute the concept of \"teacherpreneurism\" in the face of tough demands and resistant organizational structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTeacherpreneurs\u003c\/i\u003e makes a simple, well-grounded claim: For the students of today and tomorrow to meet 21st-century learning standards, teachers must be transformative leaders.
