It involves the process of influencing others to understand and agree on what needs to be done and how to do it, while facilitating individual and collective efforts towards shared objectives (Yukl, 2013). According to Daft (2008), “several critical dimensions of leadership include having a clear vision, authenticity, and emotional intelligence.” Leaders who possess these attributes are better equipped to effectively communicate their vision, establish trust and credibility with their followers, and respond to their needs in a supportive and empowering manner. The rest of this statement consists of our assumptions about teacher leadership empowerment and implications for the future and conclusions.Publicación Acceso abierto A personal leadership statement(2023-07-14) Cárdenas Cárdenas, Esther Lucia; Orozco Correa, Nicol Estefany; Vargas Alarcón, Andrea Marcela; Aguas Castillo, Pedro PabloLeadership is a set of skills that a person has to guide, motivate, and drive a group of people in pursuit of a common goal. Keith Davis states, “Leadership is the process of encouraging and helping others to work enthusiastically towards their objectives. Leadership must extract cooperation and willingness of individuals and groups to attain the organizational objectives”. Daft (2008) states, “Leadership is an influence relationship among leaders and followers who intend real changes and outcomes that reflect their shared purposes" (p.4). Teacher leadership must possess specific characteristics, such as a constant willingness to learn and improve, allowing them to evolve and thrive in their leadership role. This statement will focus on teacher leadership. The other three sections will address our assumptions about teacher leadership, empowerment, implications for the future, and conclusions. Leadership is a communication process of influencing and directing people to commit to and achieve a shared goal voluntarily in a given situation (Aykut, Apinya, Billy, Gilbert, & Ritina, 2008). Thus, It is crucial to follow the perspectives of the teacher leadership to lead and guide students and colleagues, which helps to improve learning and the overall school environment. “While shared leadership also helps improve the system and the students' learning outcomes” (Coutla & Hallinger, 2009). Teacher leadership understands the importance of shared leadership, as it significantly impacts the education system, which can lead to improvements in various aspects such as teaching practices, curriculum development, or organizational effectiveness. It implies that students' learning outcomes, including their academic achievements, are positively influenced when leadership is shared, and there is participation from all members.Publicación Acceso abierto A personal leadership statement(2013-07-14) Montes Ochoa, Saray Esther; Velasquez Molina, Juan Jose; Guerra Ayazo, Sharon; Aguas Castillo, Pedro PabloIn the ever-evolving landscape of education, personal leadership has emerged as a crucial aspect for educational leaders. One of the key drivers behind the focus on personal leadership in education is the recognition that effective leadership is essential for creating positive learning environments and improving educational outcomes. This paper explores the concept of transformational leadership, which focuses on inspiring and empowering followers to achieve common goals. The assumptions of transformational leadership are discussed, emphasizing the importance of personal values, beliefs, and qualities of the leader in driving change.

According to Socio-cognitive theory, alignment plays an important role when learning a L2, which considers learners’ mind and body interaction with their peers and their surroundings as essential for learning. Thus, this study aimed to explore the alignment moments between a pre-service teacher and his students in an EFL classroom, as well as, the learning and participation opportunities generated by this alignment. Lesson observations were approached following micro-analysis and multimodal transcriptions. The findings described the semiotic resources such as proxemics, body posture, gazing and intonation that converged during the interaction between the pre-service teacher and students. Learning opportunities generated from the alignment moments such as participation and synchrony were also described. The study suggests benefits and further possibilities for research on alignment under a socio-cognitive approach in the field of teacher-education.
