Description
This program is for anyone considering a leadership role in an Independent school.
Please note that this course builds upon each day and participants should therefore attend the full course to gain maximum benefit.
This is the ninth year that this highly successful course has been offered. The program for 2022 has been designed based on the feedback received from participants over the years and will be flexible in order to respond to the needs of the group.
The course will be facilitated over three days and is suitable for those who are currently in middle leadership roles, teachers who aspire to leadership and for new leaders. It aims to provide participants with the tools, frameworks and knowledge required in a leadership position today.
Previous participants comment on the fact that the course is both an inner and an outer learning journey as a great deal of importance is placed on self-reflection. Attention is paid to the development of self as well as to numerous other aspects of leadership.
The course will cover a brief introduction to contemporary leadership theory and change management. It will also include whole school planning as well as an in depth examination of the leadership resources available from AITSL.
The course will require time for pre-reading, for reflective thinking and ongoing journaling and for preparing a short presentation for the final session. Coaching will be available to course participants between the sessions.
