Professional Learning
Learning designed for school leaders and their teams
Developing myself and others has always been a passion, with completion of a Leadership program on-site at Harvard University, Cambridge, USA, remaining a personal career highlight.
Facilitating multi-school system workshop programs like Professional Learning Communities (PLC) and Improving School Governance (ISG), combined with assessing in the Victorian Aspiring Principal Assessment (VAPA) and Unlocking Potential (UP), hand in hand with 1:1 coaching and mentoring, have together provided me a valuable 360-degree view of adult learning and how school leaders grow.
Alongside 1:1 mentoring and coaching, I have designed and present two workshop programs for schools. Sessions are shaped around where your leaders actually are and can be held during or after school hours.
Mentoring and coaching 1:1
- —
Ongoing sessions. For example twice a term, across the year. - —
A set number of sessions over an agreed timeframe. - —
A schedule of on-site coaching/mentoring sessions for a number of school leaders over a half/full day. - —
Online or in person — your decision.
