Leadership in Education

Overview

You may be a current or future human resource manager, a school principal, aspiring teacher or departmental officer, a policy developer, vocational education sector manager, or a leader of a university academic or administration unit.

The Leadership in Education program at Flinders University  focuses on working with aspiring, middle and senior leaders to:

• understand how they might grow their leadership as change agents with knowledge and relational sensibilities to work with others for a better world

• identify where traditional notions of leadership must change; and

• support leadership which recognises local and global contexts, judgement, and relationships as fundamental to the way forward.

Flinders’ Master of Leadership in Education course is distinctive in that it approaches educational leadership from a humanistic perspective. Energetic, passionate staff will prepare you to think relationally and contextually to employ the skills and knowledge you gain in the classroom to the real world.
