弱化等级，扩大内涵——西方领袖教师对我国骨干教师专业发展的启示

Reducing the Hierarchy Whereas Expanding the Implications——the new development direction of Backbone Teachers

在教师的专业发展中，骨干教师对提高整体教师的素质发挥着重要作用。因此，骨干教师队伍建设一直是教育发展的重点。本文借鉴欧美国家对领袖教师的理解与专业发展的经验，提出弱化等级、扩大内涵、提升价值，是骨干教师专业发展的新思路。

There has been a hierarchy in backbone teachers for a long time. Recognized by various levels of educational authorities, backbone teachers can be classified as school-level, district-level, municipallevel, provincial-level and state-level on top of it. Although it can be understood as a ladder of professional development, the hierarchy has made a pyramid in teachers. It has actually limited the influence of backbone teachers and produced some side-effects in teachers' professional development. Referring to the experience of teacher leadership in the west, the author holds that expanding the implications of backbone teachers and enriching their roles is a new direction for teachers' professional development.
