Team Development

for Schools

Every good principal knows the most valuable resource they have in the school building is their individual team members. It is essential therefore, that leaders invest money, time and effort into providing both themselves and their team with opportunities to think, develop and achieve. As the lead learner, a principal needs to cultivate a culture of self-improvement and self-reflection to ensure the best outcomes for whole the school community.

Growth Mindset

The only comparison that matters is between

who you were yesterday and who you are today.

What was your experience of learning as a child and what is your relationship with learning now, as an educator? In this workshop we take a deep dive into the concept of growth mindset, considering the decades of research from Professor Carol Dweck alongside the more recent work of David Yeager. Explore what it means to have a growth mindset and get better at getting better.

Key areas we will consider through the session:

  • What is my learning story so far?

  • What does it mean to have a Growth Mindset as an educator?

  • How do I teach Growth Mindset?

  • Next steps for me as an educator.

Relevant, substantiated by evidence and examples. A very accessible and interactive course.
Many thanks.

Leading from Within

Develop the leaders at the heart of your organisation

I’m in conversation here with Professor Andy Hargreaves chatting about middle leadership in schools. We need to see these roles as much more than Mr and Mrs ‘In between’.

Middle leadership has been described as the engine room for sustainable change. Within our organisations we have many middle managers but fewer middle leaders. It is vital that your middle leaders are equipped to propose, implement and lead change.

It’s time for our middle managers to become middle leaders.

Key takeaways will include:

  • What is leadership and what does it look like in the middle?

  • Communicating effectively as a middle leader

  • Managing the paradoxes of leadership

  • Leading and managing change

  • Ongoing development as a leader

Very insightful, well delivered, and thought-provoking.
