To develop informed and critical understandings of policy, theory and practice related to leading professional learning communities.
Students will examine the contested debates around professional learning communities: critiques of School or Site Effectiveness/School or Site Improvement, various versions of ‘learning community’, contemporary ideas about professional learning communities (PLCs). Students will examine theories of Organisational change: global reforms; national policy rationales, site level change models. Students will examine approaches to professional learning that take seriously the demand to develop new educational practices (e.g. action research, practitioner inquiry). Students will research ‘educational’ leadership in their own contexts, developing their own case study.
