School Leadership Development Programme

CCL’s varied education leadership development programmes focus on developing the capacity of both operational and school-based leaders to be more effective and intentional in their leadership by helping each participant develop a clear vision of their leadership strengths and developmental needs, and then moving to leverage these strengths and address needs.

CCL’s offerings are interactive, combining content with experiential learning and research-based support not typically available to school staff, providing a space for participants to learn directly from each other.

This programme is designed to:

1. Provide participants with knowledge, guided practice, and skill development around developing their own leadership capacity as well as expanding the capacity of the school, departments, and teams
2. Help participants explore individual strengths and developmental needs using assessments that lead to greater self and other awareness
3. Engage participants in experiential activities that allow them to practice new behaviors with a focus on communication and continuous improvement,
4. Challenge participants to identify a Key leadership Commitment to help focus their individual development with an emphasis on effective planning, alignment, communication, and promoting student achievement and wellbeing
5. Help participants increase their understanding of their own Change Style
6. Help participants explore neuroscience as it relates to change and leadership
7. Help participants explore a variety of Influence Styles and have the opportunity to practice various influence tactics, and
8. Connect and network with a variety of school based employees from across Australia and beyond
