Centre for School Leadership This program is for high performing teachers of science in early childhood, primary, middle and senior secondary sectors who demonstrate readiness to take on a leadership role and leadership training in their school. Experience in this program will culminate in a research report that will contribute to the development of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in the Northern Territory. STEM in schools brings together subject areas to solve problems in local contexts. This CSL program will focus on science and mathematical knowledge within the context of engineering and technology to develop leaders in STEM education. Learning will bring classroom practice to the centre of the development of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). Through a knowledge base of contemporary research the program aims to grow capacity in innovative, program development in both classrooms and schools.

STEM in schools brings together subject areas to solve problems in local contexts. This CSL program will focus on science and mathematical knowledge within the context of engineering and technology to develop leaders in STEM education. Learning will bring classroom practice
to the centre of the development of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). Through a knowledge base of contemporary research the program aims to grow capacity in innovative, program development in both classrooms and schools. In addition it will support participants to take a leadership role in whole-school strategic, improvement and teacher skill development in STEM education.
