Leadership and Learning in Educational Organisations 6-7 May, 27-28 May and 24-25 June 2011 at the Institute of Education, University of London This six-day doctoral level programme is coordinated by Professor Peter Earley with contributions from experts in the field including Professors John West-Burnham, Louise Stoll, Kathryn Riley, Geoff Southworth, David Hopkins, Roger Slee with Fergus O'Sullivan, Raphael Wilkins, Chris Watkins, Megan Crawford and Peter Matthews. It addresses the methods and techniques of enhancing learning and leadership within educational organisations. In particular, it deals with educational improvement and the ways in which different forms of leadership can contribute towards the development and enhancement of student learning, staff development and institutional growth. The course is based on two beliefs: • that high performing educational organisations institutionalise, share and maximize learning; • that educational organisations that give high priority to learning, and which maintain a culture to support it at all levels, are the ones most able to react imaginatively to and meet the challenges of an uncertain world. The course provides an overview of the central issues around leading and learning with particular reference to educational organisations. Topics to be considered include: theories of leadership, including distributed and learning-centred leadership; leadership and the emotions; leading change and improvement, schools/colleges as learning organisations and professional learning communities; and effective learning for adults and students.
