Message from Department Higher Degrees and Research Committee
We are going all out, bashing down the barriers to distributed leadership with educational change. There are less references to differing views as alternative, because boundary-crossing in leadership has become an established agenda at schools. Shanghai expert teachers see themselves as learners first, leaders second. If they were to meet with the entrepreneurial teachers in Hong Kong, they’d be inspired learners of these teachers’ innovation advocacy. We need teachers to be confident to lead, humble to learn, regardless of where they stand in the organizational hierarchy. If our Shanghai and Hong Kong teachers were to meet students from round-square schools, they’d be impressed by students taking the initiative to cross leadership boundaries, and how their teachers played a transformational role in empowering student leadership.
