  1. Principal Professional Development project This project, as a part of the National Partnership on Improving Teacher Quality, provides opportunities for alliances of schools to drive student, school and systems learning and innovation led by school leaders working together to create new capacity through new skills, new knowledge, and new practice.

  2. Framing our collaboration

  3. Purpose of the PPD project • Create sustainable collaborative learning alliances underpinned by system wide communities of practices • Build instructional leadership capacity for school and systems improvement • Lead improvement, innovation and change • Develop the skills, capabilities, practices and pathways for emerging principals and aspiring leaders in NSW Public schools

  4. The Call for Systems Leadership It involves: • Developing and leading successful educational and organisational improvements • Acting as a curriculum innovator who develops and sustains best practice across the school system • Building capabilities as a change agent to lead transformative change within the complex and rapidly changing local and global contexts of the 21C learning environment

  5. ‘System leaders’ care about and work for the success of other schools as well as their own. They measure their success in terms of improving student learning and increasing achievement, and strive to both raise the bar and narrow the gap (s). They are willing to shoulder system leadership roles in the belief that in order to change the larger system, you have to engage with it in a meaningful way. Professor Emeritus, David Hopkins, author of Every School A Great School
