Academic leadership is essential for enabling program-level pedagogical innovations aiming to transform student learning at universities. Influenced by the theory of practice architectures and drawing on case studies from an Australian university this session explores leadership as leading practices and examines how the practices of leading program-level pedagogical innovations are enabled and constrained in specific sites. The session will also describe how program leading practices are interconnected with other educational practices (learning teaching and professional learning) and illustrate how changing practices of learning and teaching requires changing leading practices and site-specific cultural-discursive material-economic and social-political practice architectures.
