In July 2007, the Australian Council for Educational Research established the ACER Leadership Centre to provide practical support to the professional learning and professional work of current and aspiring education leaders. The ACER Leadership Centre integrates a range of ACER activities,including those previously delivered through the Australian Principals Centre (APC). Between 2000 and 2007, the APC published a series of 17 monographs based on keynote addresses delivered by invited speakers.
Practitioners with an interest in leadership development can find information about the projects and seminars conducted by the ACER Leadership Centre on our main website.
