Molly Fuller
Professional appointment: Senior lecturer Professional profile: I see myself as a dynamic go-getter and regard every opportunity as a challenge while approaching situations with enthusiasm and perseverance. I am passionate about educational leadership and the impact it has on education.
I obtained my PhD in 2009 in Education with the focus on ICT integration. I started my academic career in 2009 at North West University; before that I was a teacher for twenty years. I was involved in the ACE Leadership and Management programme. We trained principals, deputy principals and HOD all over the country and I am still involved with short courses related to the training and the development of the AD in leadership and management.
I have attended numerous conferences where I presented papers on educational leadership. Reviewing articles for Journals from 2012 has broadened my knowledge of research done in leadership. I have been the Chairperson of the Subject Group Education Management Leadership for the past six years. I am part of the Edu-Lead Scientific Committee and the EXCO research committee. I am also privileged to be part of a NRF grant project: Understanding leadership for and during school change and development in academic under-performing and performing schools in challenging, formerly deprived South African contexts as well as an international research group that focuses on teacher leadership.
