在澳大利亚大型学区建立专业学习社区：信息和通信技术（ICT）环境中的学校领导。澳大利亚最近的学校重组集中在权力下放和自我管理学校的发展上。在学校领导工作场所复杂性的另一个层面上，过去十年教育结构调整的特点是在教育系统、学校和教室中越来越多地实施和依赖信息通信技术。通过大学和整个学区作为行业合作伙伴的独特合作，本研究考察了ICT丰富环境中的领导力属性。该研究将通过为澳大利亚学校开发一种基于经验的创新专业发展模式，提供有关如何在信息通信技术丰富的环境中最大限度地提高领导技能的信息。

Building professional learning communities in a large Australian school district: School leadership within an information and communications technology (ICT) environment. Recent school restructuring in Australia has centred on devolution and the development of self-managing schools. In another layer of workplace complexity for school leaders, the past decade of educational restructuring has also been characterised by increased implementation and reliance upon ICT within the educational system, schools and classrooms. Through a unique collaboration between a University and an entire School District as an industry partner, this study examines leadership attributes in an ICT rich environment. The study will provide information about how to maximize leadership skills in ICT-rich environments by developing an empirically-based innovative professional development model for Australian schools.
