This unit extends students' understanding of the legislative, historical, financial and structural features of school education in Australia. This leads to a study of the circumstances, opportunities and constraints influencing leaders in schools. A number of contexts are explored including: school review and development; meeting accountability and legal obligations; and management of systems and staff. Readings relate to leadership styles that may be applied to particular contexts as well as the development of school systems in Australia. -- Course Website
