This study involves teachers' and principals' perceptions of teacher leadership with a specific focus on teacher leadership with at-risk students. The dimensions of teacher leadership for this study include teacher involvement, teacher change agency, teacher collaboration, knowledge bases for diversity, and instructional improvement regarding at-risk students. Teachers and principals in elementary, middle and high schools in 15 Southeast Ohio counties participated in the study. Data analyses were completed by descriptive and MANOVA computations. There was no significant difference in the respondents attitudes regarding teacher leadership and gender; however, there was for position. Of the four dimensions of teacher leadership, data show teacher collaboration as the most agreed, followed by teacher involvement and teacher change agency comes third while knowledge bases for diversity is the least agreed. Data also reflect that the respondents believed their professional qualifications did not prepare them for the leadership challenge of dealing with at-risk students.
