Reflections of the ACEL QLD Branch Executive

How do we maintain the humanity in our leadership and teaching while operating with physical distancing and technology?

We are learning together that the professional response of our teachers and leaders is inspiring. Practice is being shared between colleagues within schools and between schools. Stories are being shared about leaders who are making a difference by maintaining their humanity in their leadership through listening deeply, making best use of protocols to support discussion, remaining and looking calm and organised, and by noticing when someone needs help.

Leaders, teachers, students and families are learning together about how to stay connected, how to identify what are the most important things to pay attention to now, and what can be left aside. The value of allowing ourselves to be vulnerable, to ask for help and advice and to remain curious as we learn together is a an emerging way forward.

NEW THREE PART EXCLUSIVE WEBINAR SERIES

LYN SHARRATT
CLARITY: WHAT MATTERS MOST IN LEARNING,
TEACHING, AND LEADING

The Australian Council for Educational Leaders are very proud to present Lyn Sharratt as she presents her three-part webinar series “Clarity: What Matters MOST in Learning, Teaching, and Leading”.

Bringing ‘CLARITY’ to the elements that sharpen precision-in-practice ensures knowing ‘where to next’. How to gain ‘CLARITY’ is based on a set of interrelated concepts deployed within an evidence-proven framework and implemented consistently and reflectively across systems, schools and classrooms.

This Webinar Series, in three parts: 1. Learning; 2. Teaching; and, 3. Leading, is built on solid research. There are no silver bullets or commercial programs that lead to continuous student improvement. While individual inferences can be made by interpreting many sources of data or evidence, the real power of data resides in the ‘aha’ outcomes of collaborative conversations from ‘roll-up-your sleeves’ work with ALL stakeholders.
