This session will outline how to create, moderate and fine-tune a skills-based internal data and pupil progress tracking system across the wider curriculum
The session will look at how school leaders can help embed a data-led culture amongst their teachers, understand and mitigate the risks of wider access and even engage parents with the true value of school data. We will draw on leadership theory and practice to understand the route to success. In short, we will help you unlock the data treasure chest.
Growing and transforming leadership in schools is crucial for fostering innovation and achieving educational excellence. Effective leadership development focusses on building collaborative cultures, empowering teachers, and nurturing student-centred learning environments. By providing continuous professional development, encouraging mentorship, and promoting shared leadership models, schools can adapt to changing educational demands, deliver impact, and cultivate a dynamic leadership landscape that drives sustainable growth and fosters a thriving, inclusive school culture.
Drawing from his new book, ‘Change Starts Here’, Shane Leaning will explore the value of involving every stakeholder in school organisational change. Increasingly, schools are losing their autonomy for change, with more companies, more consultants and more external policies driving school change.
This session will present the benefits of an inclusive, inside-out approach that honours and truly values the contributions from students, teachers, parents, and school leaders alike. Shane will highlight the power of using thoughtful reflective questions to democratise the change process, opening the conversation to everyone. The aim is connection and trust.
You will be introduced to change initiatives driven by community engagement, and learn about the newly developed, open-source Model for Organisational Change.
