Leaders of educational organisations are constantly confronted with many different challenges. For example, currently there a number of pressing issues confronting leaders including new technologies, national curriculum and assessment, improvement of student outcomes and development of professional learning as well as the usual legal and financial matters. This course is designed to assist aspiring and practicing educational leaders to address these issues by extending their knowledge and understanding of relevant theory, research and practice in these areas.

The course consists of four modules. For Summer 2009/10 the modules are:
