 * Lesson Objective: You will engage in a visual exploration activity to examine your leadership with new literacies as you develop your leadership action plan.**

1. Free write for 2 minutes: Connect what you learned from the teacher panelists with your vision of yourself as a teacher leader of new literacies. Either write on paper, word document, or if you like go to http://penzu.com (a free online diary and journal) and write your response there. 2. Take a gallery walk and select two images: 1) One image should reflect a leadership quality that you aspire to; 2) The second image should reflect a challenge you anticipate in your role as a teacher leader. (8 minutes) 3. Return to your design studio groups and use your pictures to create a shared vision of teacher leadership (10 minutes) and report out to the whole group (10 minutes) 4. Generate a 3-2-1 leadership action plan that consists of 1) Three goals you want to achieve by the end of the year; 2) Who are two people you will collaborate with to achieve those goals?; and 3) What is the first realistic step you will take to address this plan? (15 minutes) 5. Post your plan at [|http://www.newlit.org]
