This book is based on selected papers presented at the 2012 Teacher
Education Dialogue staged in Coffs Harbour, Australia. The theme
was "Innovation and New Ideas in Teaching and Teacher Education".
With this theme in mind, chapter authors present various
innovations and new ideas in teaching, teacher education and
schooling related matters.
The 2000 schools era is enmeshed in a public discourse around
improving student performance; with increasing scrutiny being
applied to school results and the performance of teachers. Drawing
on two decades of service as a primary school principal and
coupling the findings of a study he instigated into teacher
leadership and the principalship, Dr. Jake Madden tells how the
principal can enhance student learning. Madden explains, through
focused case studies in several schools, that effective schools
have principals who are strong instructional leaders and work to
harness the leadership capacities of their teachers. This is a book
for school leaders who want insight into the capacities that come
from engaging teachers in improving school performance.
