This course is aligned with the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) Professional Standards for Principals. During your course, you will examine the responsibilities of educational leaders and their role in effectively managing change and seeking opportunities to innovate. You will develop an advanced understanding and critical knowledge of creating and maintaining professional learning communities including community engagement, negotiation and managing competing interests.
