The study aimed to explore the extent to which leadership learning is embedded within the initial teacher education curricula and featured in national policies of the participating systems (i.e., Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland). The specific objectives are: ● to examine current models and approaches of leadership learning for teachers adopted in each of the systems; ● to review curricula within initial teacher education programmes with a view to identifying opportunities to further strengthen leadership learning for (pre-service) teachers; ● to provide a seminar for academic staff, school partners and initial teacher education students in each of the participating systems to engender further debate and innovative practice in relation to leadership learning; and ● to prepare a position paper for the policy, practice and academic communities and a planning and delivery resource for teacher educators.
