Leadership for Learning

Leadership for Learning is a way of thinking, doing, communicating, working, and reflecting about educational leadership in schools for the singular purpose of promoting the activity of learning.

In a previous session you identified the leaders and learners in your school and considered your own potential as a leader. We will now examine each of the five LfL principles more closely.

Here are the five principles of Leadership for Learning:

1. Focus on learning
2. Conditions for learning
3. Learning Dialogue
4. Shared Leadership
5. Shared Accountability
