LfL is not something that can be implemented, ‘done-to’ a school or imposed on a person. LfL provides a framework that creates an opportunity for change; for expanding leadership capacity in schools and improving the quality of learning. The OER4schools programme adopts an approach similar to the one in LfL in how it defines '''''professional learning'''''. You will have an opportunity in this unit to reflect further on the application of LfL in every aspect of your own professional learning. }}

{{activity|Small group activity|10 }}:  Form a different small group of three to four teachers and discuss these questions:
* What is your initial impression of the terms ‘leadership’ and ‘learning’?
* Who are the leaders and learners in your school?
* Who are the leaders in your school who are responsible for learning within the school?
* Can you be a leader who promotes learning in your school? Why?

There may also be others (such as cleaners) who may not seem to play an important teaching or administrative role in the school but there is certainly plenty we could learn from them. (e.g. their stories of the school, their observations, and of course, how they have kept the school clean and tidy in an efficient manner to create a conducive environment of learning for all) }}
