With the qualitative research and ten interviewees from the case school, the results are as follows:
1. In the case school, the main efficiency of teacher leadership is that teachers are good at teaching methodologies and class management to promote students’ learning efficiency.
2. In the case school, teachers can keep on learning and improving themselves in order to reinforce their professionalism for teacher leadership.
3. In the case school, teachers usually trust, respect, and share with each other, then rethink to achieve peer leadership.
4. In the case school, teachers are usually willing to participate in decision-making of their school administration. In addition, they are obedient to formal administrative leadership. They are highly cooperated but their attitudes are passive.
5. Both of the implementation difficulties and the solutions toward teacher leadership include five aspects of teachers, time, the principal, school organizations, and school culture:
(1)Teachers have low intension toward outside classroom teacher leadership. Besides learnings, improving abilities, and rethinking, teachers should be encouraged to go out classrooms and participate in school services.
(2)Result from the limits of time, teachers are suggested to make good use of grade forums to share and discuss.
(3)The principal has not fully authorized subordinates. She can practice empowerment to encourage teacher leadership.
(4)Teachers are restricted to bureaucracy, so they should apply teacher leadership to show their specialties.
(5)Parents’ lower cooperation, students’ great individual differences, and difficulties for disabled students’ integrations could be solved by strengthening parent-teacher cooperation and practicing remedial instructions to achieve better school culture.
On the basis of these findings, this study proposes suggestions to the administrative organizations, educators as well as for the future studies.
