The goal of this method is to use teacher collaboration data to map and explain the course of leadership and the adequate environment for a mathematics teacher to succeed as an instructional leader. This shift in evaluation model modifies the traditional view from explanations of events based on individual teachers to a view where a more contextual and systemic understanding of events takes place. In this way, the use of social network analysis in evaluation changes the focus from characteristics of individuals to interrelationships of systems’ individuals.en-USMathteacher professional developmentInvestigating teachers’ instructional leadership in the School Based Teachers Leaders programTechnical Report
