<p>The core purpose of schools and educators must be the successful facilitation of teaching and learning. To do this effectively, teachers must also be leaders. In Leading Learning and Teaching, Stephen Dinham follows up the success of How to Get Your School Moving and Improving with an authoritative, in-depth examination of the field of instructional leadership. Building on extensive research in Australia and around the world, Leading Learning and Teaching examines the importance and impact of instructional leadership. Key themes include successful change management, the effectiveness of teacher professional development, and the importance of evidence and the use of data. Examining current international contexts of educational theory, policy, and practice, Dinham presents strategies, agendas, and direction for enhancing the capabilities of individual educators, teaching teams, schools, and systems. He brings together essential research and understandings of leading teaching and learning, and the role of instructional leadership in promoting quality teaching and enabling student learning. *** "If educators are to LEAD learning and teaching, then this is the must-read book." -- Professor John Hattie *** "This book is not just an elegant and comprehensive survey of contemporary educational research evidence, but because of its breadth of vision and authentic grounding in practice, it provides a theory of action for Australian education well into the middle of this century." -- Professor Emeritus David Hopkins, Institute of Education, University of London *** "Leading Learning and Teaching is a must read for anyone interested in changing schools and classrooms for the better. It is authoritative, accessible and ultimately compelling reading." -- Professor Alma Harris, Director, Institute of Educational Leadership, University of Malaya [Subject: Education]</p>

<p><div>How do we enable young people to imagine themselves as the next generation of STEM professionals? How do we do this in a way that engages the desire to learn and explore? In Australia, there is increasing concern at the declining participation in advanced-level school mathematics and physical sciences; fewer students electing to study STEM programs at university; and, evidence of declining performance of Australian students on international comparative tests in mathematics and science. This timely book highlights the need to reconceptualize Maths and Science Teacher Education Programs (ReMSTEP) in order to revitalize maths and science teaching approaches within primary and secondary schools.<br /> <br /> This substantively researched text, based on ReMSTEP's extensive trialling and exhaustive consultation with researchers and practitioners alike, enriches the debate on the educational relevance of maths and science, and is a crucial reference for educational decision-makers, lecturers and pre-service teachers, and school leaders.</div></p>
