Abstract

This chapter explores the multiple complexities that many novice educators face as they navigate teaching in a K-12 setting and pursuing higher education degrees. Specifically, the exploration and involvement in professional learning organizations. The goal of this personal reflection is intended to remind readers how critical it is that we mentor and encourage the teacher leaders of tomorrow early in their careers. Research in the field of education highlights the importance of professional learning and leadership and the involvement of educators in professional organizations and committees. Many classroom teachers become involved in extended networks beyond their school communities and take on leadership positions and responsibilities. This chapter contributes to the need for research to examine the design, involvement, and effectiveness of professional learning organizations to support and retain teachers.
