Art of Leadership Masterclass
The skills and strategic practices required of this approach to encouraging generative teacher learning and professional growth will be compared and contrasted to a more commonplace ‘measurement and accountability’ approach.
The Elements of this 3 -day program are:
The emotional brain and the practice of leadership; Advanced practical skills for leadership self-management, based on the ideas of Dan Siegel, and the latest neuroscience research. The use of narrative in the repertoire of leaders: practices that help the leader to influence the culture of the school, and create clarity of purpose in a highly effective but subtle way.
The methodology of the MasterClass will be similar to that used in the AOL program, with all learning presented in an experiential genre.
Cost: $2800 per participant (ex GST)

"I have been teaching for 31 years and this training is hands down the BEST I have ever participated in. On a professional level, I feel so much more stable and feel stronger to tackle the 'hard tasks'. On a personal level I am filled with joy and feel so much lighter." I just want to bottle your knowledge and advice and keep it forever. I can't stop thinking about all of the learning and how it can be utilised. And the deep connections we have made are enormous."
Feedback from a participant in 2014
“It was a highly meaningful and engaging program that supporting learning in areas of leadership that had never been touched before. Narrowing the gap between theory and practice/implementation has been the most powerful part of the program. Practicing skills and having feedback and discussion around the skills was very powerful. It has been the best leadership training I have ever engaged in”

I still can't stop talking to colleagues about the impact Art of Leadership has had on my professional knowledge and development. So many of the team at our school have now done the training and it has an enormous impact on the development of our exec team / aspiring leaders, the way we lead and work with all stakeholders and the culture we have built.
Feedback from a participant in 2014
This program was able to address the needs of participants at all levels of leadership. For me as an experienced leader it brought everything I knew together and made sense of it all. It also gave me a framework to work within and deepened my knowledge and skills. It was without a doubt the best professional learning in terms of leadership that I have been involved in. The opportunity to reflect on and confront oneself as an individual and a leader within a supportive environment was exceptional.
