About the Day
Recent studies have identified the pivotal role of program leaders in enhancing university learning and teaching (Scott, Coates and Anderson, 2008). Curriculum leadership and knowledge as well as the skill to manage academic and professional staff teams are significant responsibilities of program leaders. Presently, work is being done to recognise and address the unique needs of program leaders and generate ongoing support for the role. This national summit will bring together higher education institutions that are currently developing the program leader role.
