Educational Leadership

Some schools are developing partnerships and sharing spaces to become local hubs and building school-community connections, say University of Melbourne experts.

One university that has focused on this is Auckland University of Technology. It has done this in its teaching by reconceptualising the curriculum. It aims to ensure that there is choice for its students to provide a significant breadth of opportunity at the undergraduate level. The careers of the future are not one dimensional, and so offering students exposure to multiple disciplines provides skills and experience that are fit for purpose.
