In the education world, we need to model how we expect students to behave and engage

When do teachers shift their mindset to see themselves as active contributors in the profession, rather than "passive" participants? What are the personal and professional factors in making this transformation?
Can all teachers become teacher leaders? If so, what supports do they need? Or, is there something internal in each individual that either encourages or limits one's professional growth potential?
These are the important questions to be asked in helping bring about this much needed transformation in our profession.-

Perhaps one of many possible paths to transformation is the realization that "experts" don't have all the answers, and most importantly, when it comes to real students in real schools, a classroom's teacher's perspective is just as insightful in finding solutions as any "leader" around them.
That's when a teacher's mindset shifts and begins the transformation from teacher to teacher leader.
So, when did you transform? What types of encouragement and supports will help other teachers make that transformation?

Great resource to help with blogging with students so that they can start sharing their own ideas
-
- Teach them how to blog first. We did an excellent paper blogging lesson first (found on the blog of McTeach), which brought up why we were blogging and how to do it appropriately. This got the students excited, interested as well as got them thinking about what great comments look and sound like.
- Talk safety! We assume some students know how to be safe, but don't assume it; teach them the do's and dont's. I came up with the lesson of why the Internet is like the mall and it really worked. I also sent home safety plans for students and parents to discuss and we discussed it throughout the year.
- Teach them how to comment. In order for blogging to be effective, comments are needed, but if students don't know how to properly comment they will lose out on part of the experience. We discuss how to thank people, how to answer their questions, and most importantly, how to ask questions back. This is all part of common conversational knowledge that all kids should be taught any way.
