School Improvement is a highly complex undertaking. Traditional technical approaches to identifying and responding to demand often fail to hit the mark.
All schools are responding to complex challenges; as leaders of learning we must consider these opportunities as ‘adaptive professional puzzles of practice’. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the key constructs that underpin and drive a schools learning culture to help us develop a comprehensive improvement blueprint in our school.
In session participants will explore and better understand:
• The role and impact of wellbeing and performance factors on school performance and function
• Evidence-based approaches for identifying and responding to teacher, team and leadership need through the institution of Practice-based Interventions (aka: strategic improvement initiatives),
• The role and power of Professional Dispositions in the enactment of learning, teaching and leadership practices,
• Tools and Protocols to assist our teams in evaluating and refining our Observable Impact as a Learning Leader,
• How their schools observable vision can be used to assess their current leadership context to determine areas of strength, opportunity and potential areas of future leadership focus and;
• Specific leader and teacher ‘observables’ – actions, strategies, activities and assessments – to help create a learning leadership plan to drive improvement in their context.
