Stepping Stones
A Leadership Mastermind for Senior Leaders
No organisation can be a great organisation without high leadership capital.
For future educational leadership to have a continual impact, there is a need for all senior leaders to master and demonstrate a modern set of leadership behaviours and attitudes.
This programme offers the knowledge and skills to enable senior leaders to articulate a vision for increasing capacity for improvement and to design and implement an appropriate strategy for whole school improvement that is focused on maximising pupil outcomes. It addresses the ‘big picture’ of what contributes to organisational success and the role played by senior leaders in optimising cultural capital that maximise learning through focusing on results.
