Learning to Lead Effective Schools - DEECD
Program: Preparing for Leadership
The Office for Government School Education’s (OGSE) leadership development programs for 2009 are specifically designed to develop the leadership capabilities of aspiring leaders, including teachers who are not yet in formal leadership roles, as well as assistant principals and current principals and leadership teams.
These programs make up a core component of the OGSE’s state-wide leadership development strategy, Learning to Lead Effective Schools, which has been developed in the context of an overarching strategy for system-wide reform to improve the practice and performance of schools in the government system. The design and implementation of professional learning programs for current and aspirant leaders is viewed as a powerful lever to achieve these goals.
All OGSE leadership programs are constructed around the leadership capabilities described in the Developmental Learning Framework for School Leaders which was released in March 2007. The Framework articulates the capabilities required of effective leaders and teachers in Victorian government schools and assists them to make informed judgments about the type of professional learning experiences they need to undertake to increase their proficiency across the five leadership domains.
Preparing for Leadership is one of 19 leadership development programs on offer to Victorian teachers and school leaders.
The core objective of the Preparing for Leadership program is to strengthen the leadership capabilities of Victorian school leaders by improving their understanding of effective schools and the leadership required to bring about improved teacher practice and student outcomes.
The objectives of the Program are to:
- Introduce participants to leadership and effective schools theory;
- Enhance participants’ understanding of leadership roles and responsibilities within schools;
- Develop participants’ understanding of their leadership capabilities; and
- Enable participants to develop a small project linked to their school’s strategic priorities and their professional learning plan.
