A Future-Focused Approach for the Preparation and Development of Teacher and Middle Leaders
摘要
This chapter begins by defining teacher and middle leadership and describing five areas in which trustworthy claims can be made about the roles: impact, interventions, leadership focus, identification and support. This is followed by a review of research about leadership preparation and development from a broad perspective and through a focus on one jurisdiction, Australia. For the Australian case, career pathways, professional learning, school culture and structure, senior leadership support, role definition and self-development are explored. The paper concludes by considering future leadership preparation and support through four future scenarios.
