Leadership in Education
Leadership in education is unique and highly specialised. Headteachers, Principals, CEOs of groups of schools and others with senior leadership responsibility have many priorities to juggle as they define their vision for ensuring the smooth running of the most complex of organisational structures. Leading in education is different from that of any other kind of business. There are so many facets and variables to take into consideration and nothing ever really stays the same for long. However, CPD for teachers and all other educational professionals is essential.
Why coaching for leaders in education?
Creating the right leadership style and building teams that can deliver the vision is essential. Creating the right culture where learning is at the heart of defining curriculum intent, planning for effective professional development and building powerful and high quality systems all need careful consideration.This is why coaching is such a powerful tool in the leadership box for any organisation that has learning at its core. Creating a coaching culture is all about empowerment, leading others to find their own solutions, building communities that share their practice and having the unstinting belief that all those within the organisation have the potential to flourish and grow.
