Tony Loughland is an Associate Professor and Deputy Head of School (Research) in the School of Education at the University of New South Wales. Tony is an experienced educator who likes to think that theory should be the plaything of practice. He agrees with Marx’s assertion that philosophy should be used to not only interpret the world but to try to change it. Tony subscribes to Marx as he believes this orientation towards research is vital in a world threatened by anthropocentric climate change. Tony is currently leading projects on using AI for citizens’ informed participation in urban development, the provision of staffing for rural and remote areas in NSW and on Graduate Ready Schools.

  • Inaugural member of the Big Schools Network. The Big School Network (BSN) is a professional learning alliance of primary schools with very large enrolments in excess of 1000 students. It was established in 2018. The network reached out to the School of Education at UNSW to jointly develop a professional learning program for emerging leaders in these big primary schools. This professional learning program was evaluated by an associated research study conducted by Professor Mary Ryan from Macquarie University and myself. The Big Schools Network also has regular meetings for principals where university partners such as UNSW are invited to share and contribute knowledge where applicable. The BSN provides an ideal environment for educational collaboration in research and innovative practices in leadership and pedagogy.
