Publication Can Leadership Help Teachers Deal with Change-Associated Challenges?(Avondale Academic Press, 2012-01-01) Matthes, AndrewLife in the modern world is fast, complex,
uncertain and compressed. This presents new
problems and challenges for school systems
and the teachers who work in them (Fullan,
2005). The compression of time and space
create accelerated change; evidenced by
growing innovation, overload and intensification
in teachers’ work. It is undeniable that
teachers and principals in Australian schools,
increasingly, are expected to address an array of
social issues and societal problems previously
external to their professional domain (Mitchell
et al., 2002, p. 19). Furthermore, government
safety and welfare concerns have resulted in
new legislation and regulations, culminating in
additional levels of accountability for educators.
