Leading schools in these uncertain times requires great strength and flexibility. The time to reflect and re-examine priorities as a school leader is limited. This leadership development, delivered as a fundamental pillar of the Confident Learners Literacy Program, aims to address this by:
Reflecting on personal, daily leadership behaviors and strategies to increase intentionality and focus.
Examining effective habits that create a positive mindset to create and sustain a culture and community focused on meeting the needs of all students.
Examining successes, identifying challenges and identifying next steps.
