Students as Partners: Leadership Innovation in the Education Landscape

This session invites participants to reflect on the changing nature of leadership in schools and systems, exploring the award-winning work of the Learning Commission, with commission schools and colleges now in place across the Northern Territory, ACT and Tasmania representing over 35,000 learners. John and Jess will explore what innovation in leadership means in contemporary education, how research-informed practice is mobilised by leaders to drive improvement and the role of partnerships between policy makers, school leaders, educators and students in leading change.
