About the workshop
Increasing market demands drive the continual evolution of the Secondary Education sector. As a result, executive leaders are required to exhibit excellent staff leadership and management skills, while simultaneously forging a path for innovation and development for their school's future.
While developing technical capabilities is a vital part of your leadership toolkit, so too is your ability to manage competing demands. For even the most seasoned of educational leaders, mounting pressure can lead to feelings of self-doubt and uncertainty. Building on your strengths, projecting confidence with calm, focusing on core purpose and, above all, acting ethically, will sustain you on your leadership journey.
This interactive two-day course has been designed specifically for the challenges and demands faced by Principals, aspiring Principals, Department Heads and executive management within Secondary Education institutions. Our expert facilitator will draw on her experience as a former Principal. She will also share her technical expertise as a leading researcher in the field of educational leadership, to help you develop the skills and mindset you'll need to succeed as a school leader.
