Abstract :
The paper seeks to compare the development of teacher leadership in three partner schools of the Aga Khan University Institute for Educational Development (AKU-IED), Karachi, Pakistan. These case studies form part of a larger study undertaken to investigate the impact of AKU-IED s interventions for school improvement through teacher development in Pakistan. The comparative analysis was guided by a framework adapted from J. York-Barr, K. Duke, What do we know about teacher leadership? Findings from two decades of scholarship, Review of Educational Research, 74:3 (2004) pp. 255-316. Lessons learnt for teacher leadership development can help strengthen teacher leadership roles in schools and inform further research on teacher leadership in varied educational settings in Pakistan and elsewhere.
