description This reflective paper is inspired from a research by a school leader to promote teacher agency in professional learning and development. It draws on the similarities and differences of both leadership and facilitation roles to propose a typology that is shaped by roles and goals.

It complements with the axiom that leaders have a key role in concerting the vision and driving the goals of the organization.
