Biography

Professor Clive Dimmock was appointed Chair in Professional Learning and Leadership at the University of Glasgow in October 2013. Prior to this he was Professor of Education at the National Institute of Education, Nanyang University of Technology, Singapore. He is Professor Emeritus at University of Leicester and currently Honorary Professor at the Education University, Hong Kong. He has held earlier appointments at Cardiff University, The University of Western Australia and The Chinese University of Hong Kong. His undergraduate degree was completed at the London School of Economics and doctorate in Comparative Education and Policy at the Institute of Education, London University (now UCL).

Research interests

Clive’s research interests focus on a number of interrelated themes all of which are regarded as central to improving the quality of education for all students. For more than two decades his work has targeted greater understanding of learning-centred leadership, the interaction and connectivity between learning, teaching, professional development and leadership, and their contributions to improving student learning outcomes through whole school re-design. Alongside this abiding concern has been a comparative cross-cultural dimension, aimed at identifying similarities and differences between Anglo-American and Asian systems of schooling, and leadership. More recently, his interests have embraced the need for greater equity across school systems, and the roles of policy makers and school leaders in bringing this about. In addition, among his current interests are - how problems caused by the disconnections between research, policy and practice might be addressed; how schools respond to system-wide reforms; and the advocacy of research-informed teachers and research engaged schools.

Grants

From 2009 to 2012, Clive led a major system wide, base-line, million dollar study of School Leadership in Singapore funded by the Singapore government.
