Every now and then we throw the agenda of the show over to our listeners by way of a Q&A format.
One question we received recently about the barriers women face in leadership - particularly in education (strange consider the majority of teachers are women - required us to go in search of someone with a little more expertise in the area than Tim & I possess.
To that end we invited Dr Barbara Watterston onto the the show to talk about her new book: Step In, Step Up, Empowering Women for the School Leadership Journey.
Dr Watterston is also an advocate for women in leadership. She sees the lack of representation of women in leadership roles as missing out on the incredible potential of women to influence and positively impact reforms and outcomes.
Dr Watterston has been recognised for her contribution to leadership and professional learning. She was the inaugural recipient of the Women of Achievement Award (Western Australia, 2005), is an honorary fellow of the Melbourne Graduate School of Education and is a national fellow of the Australian Council for Educational Leaders. Her expertise is regularly sought out to contribute in an advisory capacity as a member of numerous university, departmental, school and professional boards.
