Leadership<br />
Curriculum established for<br />
world-class Bastow Institute<br />
Aspiring leaders will work through 16 educational modules as part <strong>of</strong> their training for a principal-class<br />
position when the Bastow Institute <strong>of</strong> Education Leadership opens late next year.<br />
The Bastow Institute <strong>of</strong> Educational Leadership<br />
will be a world-class learning centre developing<br />
educational leaders who will leave a positive and<br />
lasting legacy. Set to open its doors in late-20<strong>10</strong>, the<br />
Bastow Institute will be located in a former school<br />
in Queensberry Street, North Melbourne. This<br />
heritage-listed building is currently undergoing a<br />
significant refurbishment that includes state-<strong>of</strong>-theart<br />
technology and learning spaces.<br />
“The refurbishment <strong>of</strong> this <strong>10</strong>2-year-old heritage<br />
building is a great symbol <strong>of</strong> the government’s<br />
commitment to young people in this state,” says<br />
Bastow Institute director Bruce Armstrong. “I am<br />
excited about this unique opportunity and<br />
the substantial and sustained investment<br />
the government is making in building the<br />
capacity <strong>of</strong> the workforce,” he says.<br />
Mr Armstrong says a key aspect <strong>of</strong> the<br />
institute’s work will be to provide a more<br />
deliberate and systematic approach to<br />
preparing principals for their first appointment.<br />
“Sixteen modules, to be <strong>of</strong>fered across four themes,<br />
are currently being developed for teachers who<br />
have demonstrated achievements in a leadership<br />
role and are aspiring to a principal-class<br />
position. These modules will be progressively<br />
delivered during 20<strong>10</strong>,” he says.<br />
The Bastow Institute will build on, and<br />
extend the work <strong>of</strong>, Learning to Lead<br />
Effective Schools by delivering a suite<br />
<strong>of</strong> high-quality programs for emerging<br />
leaders, new and experienced principals,<br />
leadership teams, rural school leaders,<br />
