Abstract:
The dissertation contributes to the field of research on school leadership development. More specifically, the research highlights the issues of engaging school leaders in professional development initiatives which are supported by the use of a virtual learning environment. In identifying these issues, a theoretical context is developed that encompasses current approaches to professional learning for school leaders. It also examines a number of theories of leadership and leadership models. An objective of the research is to develop a model which will inform the use of online environments for computer-mediated communication (CMC)-supported professional learning.
