The APCLC is a research and development centre focusing on Leadership and
Change in education. The APCLC was established in 2009 with the aim of
contributing to the global interest in the role and impact of leadership, and
more specifically leadership in educational, human service and professional
organizations. The Centre stresses the importance of leadership and leadership
development for achieving sustainable change in school systems. These
represent key targets for the Centre which focuses on creating research-based
knowledge on the practices of leading change, innovation and school
improvement in this region.
The Centre builds on a strong regional foundation of leadership
development by contributing new research grounded in the region. This
research draws on global theories of leadership as well as also exploring
indigenous conceptions of leadership. It also creates and transforms
knowledge gained from research into practical effective tools for
development.
