Leading a Learning Culture with James Nottingham
Developing the leadership, collaboration and visioning
skills of all staff is vital for building capacity and achieving a learning
culture that impacts learning. When leaders amplify healthy mental
models, and design out the problematic ones, then everyone – staff, students
and community – gain significantly. The problem is, those mental models often
lie hidden from everyday view and can be resistant to change even when they are
uncovered. In this full day workshop, James Nottingham – a former school
leader and now owner & director of six companies – will share the best
strategies he has discovered for creating a culture of learning through the
wise reshaping of mental models. He will pay particular attention to common
mental models about challenge, progress and grades, behaviour, and collective
efficacy.
Delegates will:
• Explore how to align students and colleagues towards agreed goals
• Develop practical strategies to support and prompt professional learning conversations
• Understand how mental models drive actions and how mindsets impact on expectations
• Adjust mental models about challenge and mistakes so that staff and students develop resilience, curiosity and a growth mindset
• Move from a performance focus to a learning orientation (an emphasis on progress rather than grades) so as to enhance collective efficacy
Delegates will leave the workshop with a framework for leading improvement and change as well as protocols for engaging their community in quality dialogue about learning.
