Education

Who are our Education products for?

In the Educational Sector, we have worked with the National College for School Leadership, Local Education Authorities and with a variety of Heads of different schools.  Our work in these sectors has included school culture change programmes, developing stronger and more effective leadership, resolving conflict and supporting Head Teachers and the Senior Management Team to realise and implement their vision throughout the school.  We look to work with education leaders who are hoping to make a more effective difference in the schools/authorities they work in. 

The following products have been written specifically for the Education sector:

Spark for School Leaders

Transitions to Headship

This product will prepare you for a role as Head Teacher by helping you to develop your vision and  share your vision with others as well as to overcome obstacles that may get in your way.
 
"I was surprised at how easy it was to engage with both Coach and Specialist without face to face contact; on reflection, I suspect this was a reason why it was possible to be so open and honest.  It has given me the confidence to pursue headship."

School Governors

This product focuses on the roles of Head Teacher and the Chair of Governors.  How can you find a way of collectively leading the school that combines a strong set of shared values and an exciting shared vision with deep levels of trust and respect between parties? The energy that such partnerships can create and the extraordinary results that can be achieved are extremely powerful for the school.
 
"The coaches were really good at boosting my self esteem;  I left phone calls feeling like anything was possible and they helped me to see how my future might develop.  I feel privileged to have been able to receive this support."

Leadership Partnership

This product is designed to help you examine your own leadership style and preferences when working with other leaders, especially beyond your own school and spans of authority and control.  How can you fine tune your skills to lead systemically?  What may inhibit you from working in partnership with others?  How do you mobilise people for change and effectively manage tricky relationships?
 
"The course has strengthened my ability to be self critical and thereby enriched my reflections; a process vital to effective self management and the leadership of others."
