Leading Improvement in Your School
with Vic Zbar & Pamela Macklin

Leaders and leadership teams …. take a deep dive from the big picture to building capacity and ensuring consistently better teaching. With a focus on the centrality of leadership, engage your individual and collective strengths together with proven strategies to drive a model of improvement that ensures success for all.

Audience
The Webinars are designed for leaders with responsibility for leading whole school improvement. While the webinars can be undertaken individually, experience suggests there is more value to the school when they are completed by members of the leadership team who can discuss and work together on the material and activities they contain.

Webinar outcomes

By the end of the Webinars participants will:

• understand how school improvement typically happens;
• be able to diagnose the stage of development of your school;
• determine the appropriate strategies to move the school to the next stage in accordance with your annual improvement plan; and
• be able to apply processes that engage your staff and engender their support.
