Structuring and Culturing Schools for Comprehensive Learning - Peer Learning Event

The event’s theme is founded on the principle that the main purpose of School Leadership is to further student comprehensive learning and equity. As leadership, however, refers not only to individual

leaders or to senior leadership, it can also be understood as the outcome of many actions and interactions involving teachers, students and other stakeholders who contribute to school leadership.

Participants will explore in what ways leadership can provide both a structural framework and shape school cultures that establish a context in which successful, comprehensive learning can take place within a commitment to equity. The influence of technology as an agent of cultural change will also be addressed.

The peer-learning event will be structured on three sub-themes:

• Structuring Schools
• Between a rock and a soft place: Exploring leadership practice for equality and justice
• Leading school cultures

and aims to increase understanding on the outcomes of the interactions between the School Leadership ‘actors’ as contributors to effective School Leadership.
