This study aims at looking deeper into school-based leadership and teacher leadership in particular. The starting point of any line of thought is to be found in the claim that there is a positive correlation between teacher leadership and student academic performance.When searching the curriculum for the non-compulsory school system in Sweden, Lpf94,for its position on school-based leadership, the only item that is found on the subjectrefers to principal leadership. I therefore chose to perform interviews with a number ofhigh-school teachers, to attain a complementary image of how they perceive that they, as teachers, practice leadership on a daily basis. The results show that they all feel that their professional role entails a leader role, but the analysis shows that how they practice leadership can be recognized in slightly different ways.
