Distributive leadership practices involving sharing, collaboration, co-leadership, partnerships and other models as described by Castro (2004), Chrispeels (2004), Griffith (2004), Hadden (2000) and others were found consistently in all three schools. Teacher leaders were identified in all three cases, and collaborative leadership practices involving teachers, counselors, and administrators were found in management teams, cabinet groups, and learning communities. As an example, Marvin’s teacher leaders, counselor, and principal shared responsibility for many functions and activities across the school, from preparing for student rewards and examining curriculum for improvements, to planning and implementing testing across the school.
