| Resumo: | Improvement in the preparation pathways available to aspiring school leaders keen to take on challenging leadership roles is recognised as a priority for governments, education systems and schools across the world. Insufficient or ineffective preparation for school leadership in Australia has led to a situation where 'all too often leaders feel isolated and alone' (Caldwell, 2006), and the systematic evaluation of the effectiveness of leaders' preparation has been rare (Fluckiger, Lovett and Dempster, 2014). The PIVOTAL Project (2014–2015) aimed to address this deficit. The project interrogated how postgraduate leadership courses offered within Education and Business Schools could be more relevant and provide better preparation for current and aspiring school leaders in state, catholic and independent schools in regional Australia. The University of the Sunshine Coast and the University of Southern Queensland formed a partnership for this research, focusing on the comparability of regional context of both institutions whilst examining any contextual differences in local school leaders' learning needs.[Executive summary, ed] |
