Conflicting Policy Environments
The School Leadership Centre is engaged in dialogue and projects on a number of issues and tensions in education and leadership:

• Competing purposes of education.
• Public good and social justice in a globalized world.
• Educational representation: Who speaks for education? And who is heard?
• Accountability, accreditation, and certification.
• Sustaining dialogue over difference, conflict, hierarchy, and power.
• Historical division between administration and teaching, professionalism and sustainability.
• Theory and practice: the university and the profession.
• Educational leadership: managerial or transformative?
• Educational leadership: who leads whom?
• Competing roles and practices in leadership preparation.
