Leadership in Schools (SI) (EDUC91207)

This subject examines contemporary perspectives on leadership and analyses the structure, organisation and culture of secondary schools and the impact of effective leadership on student outcomes. Building on understandings of the role of teachers and relevant legislative, administrative, and organisational policies and processes regulating the profession, Interns will be introduced to the role of a leader and leadership at all levels in school settings.

Interns will reflect on developing self and others and explore notions of successful school leadership. The subject will explore concepts of engaging professionally with colleagues to continually build professional skills and knowledge and critically reflect on pathways for professional learning and leadership development as graduates entering the profession. This subject references the Australian/Victorian Curricula and Frameworks. The assessments in this subject will focus on professional engagement and development through a case study on a school, and a professional learning plan to broaden teachers’ professional knowledge and practice.
