EDED20288 Leadership for Change in Education

While taking as its starting point the work of school administrators as educational leaders, this course encourages a broader application and exploration of the competence involved in the work of educational leaders. Hence, teachers, parents, guidance counsellors, educational advisers, advanced skills teachers and trainers are considered as integral to leadership development. Students are encouraged to focus on their own work as educational leaders by considering where they are situated in relation to a range of perspectives on leadership; by examining their part in responding to and making educational change in the context of recent developments throughout Australia; and by exploring the possibilities of a reflective approach to their own professional self- development.
