The Master of Educational Leadership course is specifically aimed at creative, energetic and innovative teachers and administrators who want to enhance their professional practice and demonstrate their potential to be professional leaders in their school community or within their organisation. Recent Australian research has established that when teachers perceive themselves as leaders and are able to engage as leaders in the teaching and learning process, schools are transformed as learning communities. This course aims to explore the often divided worlds of teaching and leading in conceptually sophisticated and strategically powerful way, so as to nurture sustainable educational change, led primarily by teachers. This course will explore new concepts and approaches to teaching and learning that highlight the partnership of teachers and administrators in building a culture of leadership in schools.
