Professional Learnings: Educational Leadership Podcast (NSWPPA)
Professional Learnings for Educational Leaders is the podcast of the NSW Primary Principals' Association, where school leaders learn from educational leaders in Australia and around the world. Each episode digs into the real work of leading a school: principal wellbeing, leading learning, and running school operations, with guests whose ideas principals can use on Monday morning. Built for principals, deputy and assistant principals, aspiring leaders, and anyone who leads professional learning, the show is part of the NSWPPA Professional Learning suite, aligned to our values of support, empower, advocate and lead. Recent guests explore learner agency, growth mindset, coaching, trust, and leading through change.
