Leadership Lessons from Oz!

Posted by Admin (David Gilmour) on May 22, 2007

A 4-page paper by May Sweeney, ACfE National Co-ordinator, has been added to the Resources from Australia page.

The education departments of the states of Queensland, Victoria and Tasmania have responded to global challenges in similar ways in terms of their philosophy, but have adopted different approaches to implementation. Among the common themes which emerged from my visits was the central role of the teacher in leading change. A key feature of effective innovation has been the leadership displayed by teachers in charge of cross-curricular teams.
