Effective and Sustainable School Leadership
How can school leaders successfully navigate the challenges of the job over the course of a long and rewarding career? What does it take not only to survive as a leader, but to thrive?
This day-long course will provide school leaders with an opportunity to reflect on their role and what is needed to ensure it is a sustainable one. Leadership roles are exceptionally rewarding, but rarely straightforward. A strategic approach to issues such as managing workload, change and difficult situations is vital in order for leaders to feel that they are in it for the long haul.
The key theme of the day is that career fulfilment is personal; because everyone’s context is different, their path to a long and successful career must be unique.
