Audience 

This learning event is right for you if you are a school leader who is currently in a middle or senior leadership role and keen to explore the changing landscape for leaders in today’s schools

Description

This free course is a lead in for an intensive two day course in Term Three.  It is particularly appropriate for those tasked with a leadership role in the performance and development of colleagues. The commitment of schools to ongoing improvement requires the development of a different skill set in their leaders that focuses on:

• mastering professional conversations
• leading the growth and professional learning of others
• implementing performance and development processes in line with the Australian Teacher Performance and Development Framework
• modelling contemporary thinking in our leadership styles
• leading a learning community.

This two hour course will give you a sample of the approaches and resources which will be undertaken in the two day course.
