Leading 21st Century Schools: Engage with Asia project

Leading principals around Australia have taken up the challenge of building their schools’ capacities to ensure their students are Asia-literate. The Leading 21st Century Schools: Engage with Asia (L21CS) project is a national initiative of the AEF working with the peak principal associations of Australia and all state and territory education jurisdictions.
Round 2 L21CS 2010
In partnership with Principals Australia, the AEF is delivering the program in 6 states and territories. The program has 3 stages:
- Stage 1: an initial professional learning workshop - February to March
- Stage 2: a school-based implementation phase - March to May
- Stage 3: a final sharing of practice session - June
Access presentations from each training day on the L21CS wiki.
Contacts: Project Manager Jennifer Ure or Project Coordinator Kerry Scappatura. For information about Victoria’s L21CS program, contact Lindy Stirling, DEECD, on 03 9637 3620, email stirling.lindy.j@edumail.vic.gov.au
