Book excerpt: Rob Stokoe, director at Jumeirah English Speaking Schools in Dubai, explores the ever-changing demands and requirements for leadership in education and leaders of learning: 'We now know so much more about how we learn, how our brains function and grow. Our collaborative networks are growing exponentially; educators are now globally connected. Furthermore there is a growing awareness and a deeper understanding emerging, a convergence of ideas, new and old, which are informing the educational debate. 'We have a job to do, to make informed, considered decisions, to be flexible and pro active, take risks in order to structure and define ways of learning and inquiry-based education which will best meet the needs of students who are the greatest resource humanity has. Our goal is simply to determine a meaningful and purposeful future for each and every student globally.'
