Leading Learning that Matters

Text: 

Across the globe, nations, states, and school districts are attempting to shift the quality of learning and school leadership to better address changing workforce and community needs in the twenty-first century. What does it look like when schools develop pedagogies that support "learning that matters" locally and nationally? ANd what does leadership look like in schools that focus on "learning that matters"? The LLM project is a four-year collaboration with the Independent Schools Victoria (ISV), Australia to document the rich cases of what leading learning that matters looks like in a variety of cultural, urban, and rural K-12 contexts in the state of Victoria. By working closely with 20-25 ISV schools, the project is creating a cross school learning community that will explore and document emerging practices of progressive pedagogies focused on twenty-first century learning and the shared leadership structures in schools that support it.
