Synopsis

The core purpose of schools and educators must be the successful facilitation of teaching and learning - and to do this effectively, teachers must also be leaders.

In Leading Learning and Teaching, Stephen Dinham follows up the success of How to Get Your School Moving and Improving with an authoritative, in-depth examination of the field of instructional leadership.

Building on extensive research in Australia and around the world, Leading Learning and Teaching examines the importance and impact of instructional leadership. Key themes include successful change management, the effectiveness of teacher professional development and the importance of evidence and the use of data.

Examining current international contexts of educational theory, policy and practice, Dinham presents strategies, agendas and direction for enhancing the capabilities of individual educators, teaching teams, schools and systems. He brings together essential research and understandings of leading teaching and learning, and the role of instructional leadership in promoting quality teaching and enabling student learning.
