Leadership Learning for Pre-Service and Early Career Teachers: Insights From Ireland and Scotland
Year: 2019
Type: article
Abstract: Teachers' leadership learning should arguably commence in the initial stages of their preservice education.However, the scope for leadership learning in pre-service teacher preparation is questionably less prominent.This paper presents findings from the first phase of an ongoing qualitative research study that is exploring the extent of leadership learning in pre-service teacher education in three education systems (i.e.Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and Scotland).It discusses participants' receptivity and challenges of leadership learning at the pre-service and early career stages.The paper highlights the need for strengthening leadership elements in pre-service teacher education programmes and for developing supportive structures and cultures within and beyond schools, to promote leadership learning for teachers.
