ACER UPDATE
Learning for Leadership
Learning for Leadership by Michelle Anderson and Christine Cawsey, published by ACER Press was launched by ACER’s chief executive Professor Geoff Masters on 12 May. Part of the Educational Leadership Dialogues series, Learning for Leadership explores how school principals can initiate and maintain programs and practices to develop the leadership potential of teachers in their school. It explains the theory behind the concept of educational leadership and then it tells the story of a school much admired for its leadership development. Together, the research and the case study present a strong argument for the introduction of similar programs in schools throughout Australia. The book can be purchased through ACER Press online at http://shop.acer.edu.au/acer-shop/product/A4017BK or contact customer service on 1800 338 402 or via email on .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
