Instructional leadership

Description:
A core responsibility for all teachers is to create an environment in which all students can learn and thrive. An effective classroom environment does not happen by accident or magic; the skills and knowledge need to be learned and then practiced and refined over many years. Schools place great responsibility and trust in teachers in middle leaders, including Year Level Coordinators, Heads of House and Pastoral Leaders. Teachers in these leadership roles need to work with colleagues to build skills and knowledge, model effective teaching practices and be available to respond when things do not go right. In this session, Australia’s leading classroom management specialist will take you through his ‘seven steps to success' including: Classroom expectations shared & owned, Classroom routines taught & known, Active supervision of students, Positive environment. This session is for middle leaders in schools (YLC, Heads of House, Pastoral Leaders) and for those who aspire to those roles. This is an essential course for those who are on a leadership journey in schools.
