Summary/Abstract: The research explores the features school teachers’s leadership in the perspectives of distributed leadership. The understanding of this phenomenon is based on the assumptions that teachers, first of all, become leaders of their own personal ambitious goals and learning and then apply their educational competence for leading the students’ learning and initiating the transformations in school activities. The empirical findings in the sample of Lithuanian school teachers reveal the peculiarities of teacher leadership and the possible obstacles for developing this practice in schools.
