This document discusses educational leadership and building a culture of learning. It emphasizes that leadership is about process more than projects and building a shared vision, values, and goals. It also stresses the importance of communication, using multiple channels to share positive messages. It advocates for open learning environments that integrate school, community, and workplaces. Teachers are encouraged to think differently about their roles and integrate theory and practice through problem-based learning. Networks and sharing expertise across sectors can provide new perspectives and ideas to support innovation.
