From Evidence to Endeavour: Leading Transformational Change in Teacher Education

Professor Joanna Barbousas

Pro Vice-Chancellor (Education, Impact and Innovation) & Dean of Education, La Trobe University, Australia

What does it actually take to lead evidence into practice, not in a single classroom, but across an entire institution and into the policy debate beyond it? A candid leadership account from one of Australia's large providers of initial teacher education, repositioned around the science of learning and explicit instruction — across the institution, the public sphere and the system. Participants leave with a transferable model, and an honest account of what moves, what resists, and what it costs.
