Bringing the Learning Home Cavan 2008

Real Value Sets the context for leading schools: Brings our learning on a step and challenges us to occupy a sharp new domain Respectful of context: The difference between being respectful of context as a basis for action as distinct from allowing us become hostage to the context. Gives purpose to leadership activity: Learning centred leadership can be elusive. The model presented allows us to explore learning centred leadership in the context of the ordinary things that we do Rooted in our practice: As Paul explained yesterday evening, this is about sound practice in teaching and learning, regardless of the change environment. It transcends the subject dimension to curriculum change and gives power to us as leaders to choose the pathway to learning centred leadership Function and vocation: While leadership was described as a function, it could also be described as a vocation, given the all consuming, all encompassing model of leadership that Professor Southworth presented, The notion of being on stage at ordinary events,

Strong Teacher Autonomy Powerful External Bodies Management Centred Expectations Emerging Leadership Paradigms Leadership Journey Where we came from

Leadership Matters – A Lot: Changing Ireland: tension between the change nature of schools, the function of leadership, and the desire of school leaders to see change slow a little. So much of this change is driven through the forces of a changing Ireland in recent years. Economic change, social change and demographic change are prevelant. Schools find themselves working in new social roles, while seeking to establish a learning agenda. Changing Schools: Integration, Changing Learning: Special education, technology limiting the potential of pupils. Skills based and team skills based. Languages in schools. Leadership everywhere: The policy agenda rightly expects a lot of school leaders in managing and leading schools. However, frustration is also experienced at the level of uncoordinated managerial demands that are often placed on the shoulders of school leaders,

Societal Change Profile of family Profile of family day Religion and values

Going Somewhere Knowing where I am going: The meaning maker and the sharing of stories, telling the story with clarity and keep telling it. Shared vision; Struggling with the term shared vision. Perhaps it is important to look into what we want for our schools. What do I want to see happen, what do I see pupils doing, what do I teachers doing, what do I hear as I walk the corridoor, what can I smell, are teachers and pupils happy, is touch a part of learning, are voices being used, what conversations are staff members entering into and which conversations am I using with staff Values and beliefs challenges me to believe strongly in the potential of this school for the pupils and to keep telling the story of what we value and believe in Working on the school and in the school: Need to do an audit for myself to investigate if I still work objectively on this school. That I have not gone native in a culture where I now accept some of the toxins as normal when they can be acted on, when I can work with staff and pupils to create change, yet being close to the action, having access to the real stories that are told. Are they now afraid that I am watching them

The Importance of self: Daunting yet rewarding Fountain of optimism: At mirror practicing smiles, wiping out grimaces and wondering how did I survive - Source of belief in the organisation: It is at a time of testing that all eyes turn to the leader. Mayor Giulliani Duty of care and of hope: Tired, exhausting school year, not time for myself, Not only does my well being depend on my positivity, but so also does my performance as a leader. What do we put in place if this is not happening and can we leave this as simply a small add on to the role. Being assertive and positive

Power of Self They are watching me Major catalyst in education Model and advocate Pixels – Telling the story Choose carefully the action I take

Importance of others Death of the lone ranger Unlocking the potential …. In a storm Duty to develop leaders and talent Reciprocal approach Sharing power Teachers, pupils, community
