This unit examines the critical attributes of effective school leadership and the complexity of leading change in education settings. It draws on relevant academic and system-based sources to critically examine the role of middle leaders in schools, and how middle leadership can lead meaningful change to improve teaching and student learning outcomes. Educators examine a variety of leadership case studies to develop and refine their personal and professional understandings of leadership and apply these scenarios to leading in their context. This unit explores the necessary processes, collaborative and reflective practices that are essential to establishing and sustaining positive change. Educators have the opportunity to demonstrate a practical application of this learning through planning and implementing a change process in their school setting.

Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.

Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.

UC students have to complete the Academic Integrity Module annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).

UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.

Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
