More DescriptionLeading a Learning Organisation examines the role that emotion plays in school cultures and how current demands for rapid change and accountability contribute to levels of fear and stress. Dr Reason draws on educational, psychological and neuro-scientific research to show how leaders can change the prevailing emotional climate or tone of a school to promote deeper learning at all levels. Principals and teacher leaders learn how to overcome obstacles to improve the emotional climate of schools, as well as explore the benefits of collaboration in building deep organisational learning. Practical strategies for enhancing organisational learning include change, analysis and reframing, conscious use of current scientific knowledge about the way memory works and frequent, effective collaboration.
