DESCRIPTION:Emeritus Professor Neil Dempster and Professor Greer Johnson (
 Griffith University\, Brisbane) are our guests at the next LfL Seminar in 
 October.\n\nInside schools\, the impact of principals’ leadership is kno
 wn to be second only to quality teaching in impacting improvement in stude
 nt learning. This seminar explains the processes and findings from three A
 ustralian research and development projects that have built on the finding
 s of the Leadership for Learning: Carpe Vitam Project (McBeath et al 2002 
 -2005).\n\nThe three projects focus on principals leading teachers and oth
 ers to improve student literacy. Generated from a common set of values and
  a Leadership for Learning Framework or Blueprint\, they confirm the need 
 for principals to take a hands-on approach to literacy improvement in thei
 r schools\, not necessarily in terms of becoming literacy experts themselv
 es\, but certainly in becoming knowledgeable about what works\, so as to l
 ead the staff and students to sustainable improvement.\n\nRoom GS5\, Donal
 d McIntyre Building\, Faculty of Education\n\nAll welcome. Free to attend.
  Wine and nibbles served.\nPlease email lfl@educ.cam.ac.uk to register.\n\
