Middle leadership in Australian schools

Our latest Spotlight explores the important role middle leaders often play in shaping teaching quality and improving student outcomes. While the roles and responsibilities assigned to middle leaders differ across education system and sectors, most middle leadership roles can be categorised as either a pedagogical, student-based, or program leadership role. Principal support, school culture, and formal role recognition all shape the way middle leaders are regarded and influence how their expertise is utilised across their school.
