In the 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.
[[Image:LfL_photo.jpg|thumb|300px]][http://www.educ.cam.ac.uk/centres/cce/initiatives/projects/leadership/index.html Leadership for Learning (LfL)] is a framework of ideas and principles originating in the international Carpe Vitam Leadership for Learning project co-ordinated at the University of Cambridge. The framework has been used for 10 years in different contexts, particularly as a programme for school leadership professional development.  


'''''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.'''''
Here are the five principles of Leadership for Learning:
 
 
Five principles of Leadership for Learning are as follows:

In this unit you will explore the five LfL principles in practice '''''with a view to contributing your own ideas''''' about Leadership for Learning through interactive learning opportunities.  
In this session you will reflect further on the five principles of LfL '''''with a view to contributing your own ideas''''' about Leadership for Learning through interactive learning opportunities.  
 
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?

Remember, 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'''''.
Make sure that the participants think about this broadly. For instance, “Who are the leaders and learners in your school?” should include the head teacher, both as a leader and a learner. 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) }}
