Leadership Development Programs

Succession Planning

Through succession management, ongoing processes have been developed which systematically promote, identify and assess leadership capability of staff to meet future school and district needs.

Leadership Development Programs

"The mark of a good leader is the leader who builds leadership in others"
Michael Fullan

Leadership Services has designed the following programs:

Leadership Formation and Training Program
staff looking at school based leadership for the first time

Principal Training Program
a program for Assistant Principals who are preparing for the principalship

New Principals' Training Program
a program which provides training and support and mentorship to first year principals

New Assistant Principals' Training Program
a program which provides encouragement and collegial support for first year assistant principals. Participants gain knowledge and understanding of all departments and functions of the district

Fundamental Elements of all Programs

"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

All programs offered through Leadership Services examine the role of the principal as Catholic Educational Leader in a Christ Centred Professional Learning Community. The four common elements of the programs include:

. Critical Self Examination
. Professional Dialogue
. Professional Literature
. Reflective Journaling


Through group process participants have the opportunity to experience these elements on a regular and ongoing basis.

"The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves."
Ray Kroc
