Changes in the age and experience of the US teacher workforce have heightened the need for teacher leaders. Based on network-enhanced leadership development models advocated in the management sector, we developed an activity using Visual Network Scales as a pedagogical tool and assessed its utility within a teacher leader development program. Discourse analysis indicates teachers can discuss networks at both ends of a visual density scale, with discussions aligned to community-oriented leadership activities rather than personal classroom topics. Network analysis provides evidence for hybrid network structures explaining the diverse, concurrent set of local and regional activities ascribed to teacher leaders.
