Abstract
This study examined the validity of two constructs: teacher leadership and professional learning. The sample was from 325 teachers in South Texas. Teacher leadership was measured by the instrument of Professional Learning Communities (PLC) with 52 items in 6 dimensions. The professional learning was measure by the instrument of Teacher Leadership School Survey (TLSS) with 49 items in 7 dimensions. The authors examined the validity of the two constructs with multidimensional scaling techniques. The results indicated that both questionnaires were independently represented their dimensions and subdimension effectively.
