Knowles Teacher Initiative to Release Book on STEM Teacher Leadership
The Knowles Teacher Initiative will publish a collection of essays from 21 STEM educators, detailing strategies for school-level leadership and classroom-based change.
On November 23, 2026, the Knowles Teacher Initiative will release Becoming STEM Teacher Leaders: Stories and Strategies from Early-Career Secondary Teachers. The book compiles 20 personal accounts from early-career educators, aiming to document the practical pathways to leadership within the classroom.
The content stems from the organization’s fellowship program, which emphasizes professional development for secondary mathematics and science teachers. The publication seeks to integrate teacher perspectives into broader educational discourse, where the organization argues that practitioner insight is frequently missing.
CEO Jeff Rozelle stated that the book serves to highlight the expertise teachers possess and demonstrate how they can enact meaningful change. Published by Routledge, the book is designed to provide actionable strategies for educators navigating school and district-level challenges.
