Pedagogical Leadership in Learning Communities, Episode 2

One of the curious dilemmas in education is that when somebody develops as an expert teacher, quite often the next step up takes them out of the classroom, to an administrative post. How can teacher trainers and teachers develop and nurture their pedagogical leadership skill in their daily teaching environments, while also supporting others to do so? In this 40-minute podcast episode, the topic is being reflected on by Kamala Mukunda and Josephine Moate. Kamala is the co-founder of the Centre for Learning, which is a teacher-run school in the outskirts of Bangalore, India. She is also the author of the book series, “What did you ask at school today”. Josephine is an adjunct professor of bilingual and multilingual pedagogy at the department of teacher education of the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. The two met each other through the Global Innovation Network for Teaching and Learning (GINTL), which is an initiative of Finland’s Ministry of Education and Culture, together with 21 Finnish higher education institutions and their partners in India, China, and the African continent.
