%X Leadership for Learning implies that leaders and learners share their thoughts about learning and their respective roles in learning. In the best establishments, from the smallest primary school to the largest college, learners are supported to become leaders of their own learning and to take responsibility for their own progress and development. When this is considered seriously and planned for, learners become independent learners. The research presented in this paper outlines the preliminary study carried out by Institut Aminuddin Baki, Ministry of Education, Malaysia in the Teach For Malaysia (TFM) program in the attempt to illustrate the outcome of teaching as leadership framework employed by TFM Fellows in teaching and learning in the classroom in which this has been an innovation in the teaching and learning in the existing classroom. The methodology of the study is open interviews which are carried out throughout the 17 schools designated for the TFM program. The respondents are 50 TFM Fellows placed in the 17 secondary schools in three (3) states namely Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan. The interview data was analyzed qualitatively in order to give rich description of the process of teaching and learning using the teaching as leadership framework. This study is still on-going and the result will be expected to be fully reported by the end of December 2013.
