The programme runs over a term (from February to May) and is designed to help you address the real problems and issues you encounter in your role. You will both contribute from your expertise and draw on the expertise of other participants and any additional experts we identify with you. Sessions will provide structures and tools to enhance networking and collaboration with colleagues in similar circumstances .
These core 'architecture of the programme (developed in a design workshop including potential participants) is:
-
a ‘spine’ of joint activity sessions of limited duration (2 ½ hours max)
-
an ‘action learning set’ format in which small groups of participants take turns to coach each other (within a specified coaching protocol) around a given topic (a problem or puzzle)
-
additional expert inputs on topics identified by the participants
-
opportunities to see other people’s schools, to get outside their your direct experience and have something to compare it to
-
opportunities to learn from each other but also from those more experienced (in a mentoring role)
This programme is not intended to offer a “quick fix” or series of lectures. We recognise that you are bringing both real world challenges through which meaningful learning can be anchored, and a great deal of expertise, to the table.
