Divergent Teacher

Are you a divergent teacher leader?  I am and I bet you are too!


I am finally getting around to reading the Divergent series by Veronica Roth and I am fascinated by the rigidity of the society she describes.  It would be very hard indeed to be identified by one strength area and then be pigeonholed and have to live your life surrounded by others just like you.  So much for "variety is the spice of life"!  

The article "A 'Divergent' Path: Tips on Becoming a Teacher Leader" by Cheryl Redfield (linked here) describes  connections that can be made between the concepts Ms. Roth writes about in her novel and the ways that teacher leaders use their talents and skills every day as leaders.  Which of Ms. Redfield's five divergent qualities do you find in yourself?
