It includes issues surrounding the fields of middle level leadership in education, curriculum leadership, and middle schooling. Adeliberate attempt was made to collect data from a wide range of contexts. Emergingthemes were subsequently discussed with internationally recognised leaders in the fieldsof middle schooling and educational leadership and deemed to have relevance in broader educational contexts extending beyond Australia. The rate and magnitude of change in education over the past two decades outweighsanything that educators have previously experienced. This has led to increased diversity of middle level leadership roles in schools. This study focuses specifically on those responsible for middle school teams.
