“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".
Donna
Falls, Middle School Principal, Calamvale Community College
“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 |
