EDLE633 Leading Authentic Learning
10 cp
This unit acknowledges the challenge facing educational leaders as they try to support authentic learning in the midst of state-mandated school curriculum reform and administrative restructuring. This unit explores the nature of authentic learning and focuses on the ethical and moral dimensions of leadership that support this understanding of learning. This unit assumes that authentic learning involves moving beyond the assumptions of efficiency and effectiveness in the delivery and performance of learning to an understanding of learning as essentially a moral activity that integrates human, economic and civic concerns. Similarly, leadership for authentic learning needs to move beyond notions of efficiency and effectiveness to include a commitment to ethical leadership in order to meet the moral imperatives in the learning situation.
