Abstract

Specialist Studies in Education

This paper describes an emerging initiative, the First Year Learning Leadership Program (FYLLP) at the University of the Sunshine Coast. The program aims to engage and enable professional and academic staff who teach and support first year students to extend their knowledge of first year curriculum design principles and transition pedagogy and to develop their sense of agency to lead and engage with complexity and engineer change. The program leverages the pedagogies of expansive learning and is characterised by the use of two distinct professional learning activities: participant projects and leadership laboratories. The discussion about this emerging initiative focuses on the challenges in utilising expansive learning as a professional development model and the benefits and challenges for participants in the program.
