The purpose of the present study was to develop a reliable and valid scale that assesses teachers’ classroomleadership. Based on interviews with students and teachers and a review of literature, scale items were createdfor teachers’ roles and responsibilities in leading students. Two independent samples participated in the study:407 high school students during item generation and 594 high school students during scale validation. A principalcomponent analysis revealed that the scale’s 25 items contained four factors (i.e., interaction, motivation, in-classprocesses, and out-of-school processes) and explained over 54% of the total variability. Confirmatory factoranalyses indicated acceptable fit and reliability coefficients were also found to be acceptable. It was concludedthat the TCLS is a valid and reliable instrument in assessing teachers’ classroom leadership.
