  2. Theoretical Framework Developed for a Master of Applied Leadership (MAL) Susan F. Stevenson President (Academic & Research)FREEDOM Institute of Higher Education New Zealand Curriculum Design InstituteThis paper details the research and scholarly development of a cohesive, and holistic theoretical framework developed to comprehensively underpin New Zealand’s first postgraduate and Master of Applied Leadership programmes. These innovative programmes were approved with a rare commendation by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) in May 2017 and commenced in 2018. The comprehensive theoretical framework designed drew on a range of existing theories (Bronfenbrenner, 1979; Durie, 1994; Green, 2017; Stevenson, 2015 & Vygotsky, 1978), and developed new philosophical and theoretical concepts and models. The final theory framework underpins the programme designs, educational facilitation and assessment approaches, programme content, learner and faculty support systems, research culture and development (including the RSDF), quality assurance systems and success measurement methodologies and criteria utilised.
