The details
Educational Leaders have the challenging task of mediating and filtering policy from government into their organisations in a thoughtful way.
As we will see, this process can impact on organisations and individuals in a range of ways. Some themes of impact include: purpose, pedagogy, provision and personnel.
All of this links to the role of educational leaders which need to be central to your presentation.
Your task is to choose one specific policy and critique it with reference to these themes of impact and the broader role of educational leaders.
