Stepping Up to Middle Leadership (Day 1 of 6)

Focus: Leadership and Management
For: Aspiring school leaders

Description:

Stepping Up has been designed to consider the ever-changing role of the teacher leader and their contribution within a highly effective school. The role of teacher leader has changed beyond recognition, and they are now expected to play a major role in effective and continual school improvement.

The role has changed from one of maintenance to authentic leadership and individuals are expected to step-up to this role.

Objectives:

• To improve a school’s leadership capital by increasing the leadership confidence and competence of each individual.
• To engage current and aspiring teacher leaders in a rigorous professional learning programme that increases leadership capital.
• To support teacher leaders in building a deep understanding about high-impact leadership.
• To identify a set of essential leadership practices for effective leadership and to support each individual in building competency within each of these practices.

Over six modules, participants will be supported through a series of processes for increasing leadership capacity and an ability to lead an area of responsibility that focuses on maximising pupil outcomes. It addresses the key issues of what contributes to success as a teacher leader and the essential tasks and practices that are needed to ensure maximum impact.

Director’s Note:

This is something new we are trying, a twilight session. It means more teachers can attend (if THEY want to) as there’s no cover implications. Let us know your thoughts. As a class teacher, I would have relished the opportunity to access this type of high-quality preparation for next steps. Offer it out to your team, see who is interested.
