“Recommended for all leaders who want to
anticipate the effects of proposed changes and proactively plan for best
outcomes – and the guidebook is GREAT!! Opportunities to 'dip into' it
during the forum were very useful and revealed just how much it contains.
Potential uses are limitless and I just know it’s going to be tattered from
overuse".

“Most worthwhile. Some sound concrete
things to go away with and the changes of pace worked well. The book is
EXCELLENT bedtime reading. It helps to refocus and there’s so much more in
it as well! As most have said, it is probably the best tool they have seen.”

Hamlin, Deputy Principal, Moorooka State School |

Leading
Learning Schools -- What this Program is About...
|
-
In Schools that Learn,
Peter Senge says that while all schools are in the business of
learning, few are really learning-centred.
-
There’s now growing support for schools to
adopt the processes, principles and leadership practices of learning
organisations to encourage more learner-centred learning, extend the
role teachers play as learning-leaders, promote thinking and emotional
literacy and build the capacity for people to work and learn together
through reflecting more openly on learning and management practices.
-
Creating a learning school means
leveraging the power of learning in new ways, breaking down boundaries
to collective learning and improvement, challenging each other to
reflect on professional and management practices and putting in place
the infrastructure to support continuous creativity in learning
practice.
-
It also means developing new insights into
how to build real learning capability and increase the capacity of
schools to meet, manage and learn from change. As the hub of potential
learning communities everywhere, schools need to constantly re-invent
and revitalise themselves to keep relevant - ‘not through regulation’
as Senge reminds us, but rather through ‘changing the way we think and
interact together’.
-
This special 2-day forum takes a
3-tiered look at how the concepts and practices of Senge’s 5 Learning
Disciplines apply to individual teachers and school leaders and to
classrooms as well as the broader school-management context. It will
benefit school practitioners with tools and practices to be better
able to:
 |
Shape a shared vision of a learning school or ensure your
current one is really shared and acted on |
|
|
Revitalise your school learning culture and cultivate
curriculum creativity |
|
|
Identify key improvement areas and refresh your approach
to create a more learning-centred environment for students and staff |
|
|
Break out of the conventional mould of
administrator/teacher and strengthen your role as a learning leader |
|
|
Work more collaboratively in school management teams that
think together |
|
|
Encourage real learning conversations throughout school
and in classrooms |
|
|
Broaden the support you need to sustain school
transformation efforts and reduce the dependence-compliance mentality
