Project Methodology

Our method is to develop leaders who develop leaders. This will occur as the leaders develop a comprehensive mathematics learning support system for students across disciplines and across universities. Completion requires distributed leadership and extensive collaboration. A symposium will allow exploration of the leadership task and investigate what is required to build our capacity to develop, acquire, review and share resources to provide learning support for students. Workshops will support staff in the leadership endeavour. The "initial leaders in the making" will engage and mentor others, as leaders, to become fully engaged in the task. The issues and processes from two different institutions will be documented and analysed to inform theories of leadership capacity building. The impact on student learning and educational culture will be assessed. The project culminates in a national symposium and the initiation of others into the network of developing leaders to enhance mathematics learning support.
