Together is Better
Most headteachers feel that they have far too few opportunities to connect with other headteachers and learn together. Experts agree that headteachers need strong peer support networks. The Outstanding Leadership course is designed to foster collaboration and best practice sharing. Participants won’t just listen to a presenter but will actively participate in a learning cycle with other headteachers that includes opportunities for practice and reflective feedback which will hone leadership skills.
Trust Behaviours
Trust affects every effort we are involved in. It affects the quality of every relationship, conversation, and project. Great leaders cultivate the ability to establish, grow, extend, and restore trust.
A Shared Vision
Great leaders are pathfinders—they help their team find the path that leads to the school’s shared vision. They identify, assess, and prepare for the challenges their school faces in attaining their shared vision.
