| Zusammenfassung: | The importance of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) disciplines for the future economic and social well-being of all Australians cannot be under-estimated: 75% of the fastest growing occupations require STEM skills and multi-disciplinary knowledge. The importance of tertiary staff who are able to lead STEM multi-disciplinary initiatives and prepare students for these future occupations is crucial. This proposal advocates an Ecosystem model of leadership that will transform opportunities for tertiary staff and thus enhance the learning experiences of students in STEM disciplines. Based upon an Ecosystem model of distributed leadership, the proposal will draw together existing communities of practice and single discipline learning and teaching to expand multi-disciplinary opportunities. It will introduce multi-disciplinary courseware that connects industry and STEM staff and creates project leadership opportunities with industry mentoring for these staff. By encouraging multi-disciplinary industry activity in STEM, this proposal introduces a transformational leadership model for emulation across tertiary education. |
