Pedagogical Leadership as Professional Capacity: A Conceptual Framework for Reimagining Teacher Education Under NEP 2020

Author(s) Mr. Sharathbabu Vemula, Mr. Aditya Killampalli
Country India
Abstract Teacher education has been identified as a key tool for realizing the objectives of the NEP 2020 in India. As much as there has been a broadened scholarship on instructional and distributed leadership, limited conceptual theorizing on pedagogical leadership is as an internally organized professional ability that is invoked through the daily teacher practice. The article fills that gap by conceptualizing pedagogical leadership as four recursive and dependent capabilities, namely seeing, thinking, speaking, and writing within which educators interpret, deliberate, articulate and institutionalize professional knowledge. The framework is based on a systematic conceptual summary of the literature published between 1990 and January 2026, utilizing teacher cognition, reflective practice, distributed leadership, professional learning community, and practitioner-inquiry. The paper builds up to a capacity-based model through thematic codes applied in an iterative manner and policy alignment analysis which reorients leadership as a processual, practice-based phenomenon, not a role. The framework provides a theoretically correlated professional actionable roadmap of the re-imagination of teacher education by translating the policy aspirations of NEP 2020 into professional capacities. The article has a contribution to the scholarship of leadership through relating cognitive, dialogic, and epistemic aspects of practice in the form of a recursive architecture of professional development. It is also talked about in terms of implications to curriculum design, faculty development and institutional reform in teacher education settings.
