This course aims to explore the often divided worlds of teaching and leading in conceptually sophisticated and strategically powerful way, so as to nurture sustainable educational change, led primarily by teachers. This course will explore new concepts and approaches to teaching and learning that highlight the partnership of teachers and administrators in building a culture of leadership in schools.
