Contemporary School Leadership Programme

The Contemporary School Leadership Programme provides aspiring and new leaders with an innovative and collaborative online learning experience that develops their leadership knowledge, practice and skills. Practices are supported by robust research tried & tested in schools worldwide.

Combination of synchronous and asynchronous learning, this online experience is highly interactive. Participants will actively learn with, and from, a diverse group of national and international school leaders, reflect on their own practice, knowledge, skills and understandings, and apply the learnings to their unique context.
