This study, “A Phenomenological Study of Teacher Leadership Experiences in Wisconsin PK-12 Public Schools: 2011-2016,” explored teacher leadership experiences during a time of extraordinary change. Throughout the time period specified, Wisconsin teachers dealt with Act 10 legislation that ended collective bargaining, large-scale teacher retirements, common core induced curriculum overhauls, and unprecedented education budget cuts. This research study looked at teacher leaders’ experiences during this unique time-frame. Given that this area of research is new, a phenomenological methodology was selected because it looks at lived experiences. To conduct this research, semi-structured interviews were completed with twelve teacher leaders who were nominated as teacher leaders by their administrators.
