Middle and Teacher Leaders play a vital role in strengthening the quality of teaching and learning within their teams and across their schools. This course explores what research and literature indicate about great teaching, and how that understanding can inform meaningful improvement in practice.
Participants will explore how to foster a culture of continuous growth and examine effective strategies for improving practice at both the individual and team level. This includes the role of collective teacher efficacy in strengthening teacher practice and improving student learning.
Participants will also explore how Middle and Teacher Leaders can support the growth of the adults in their team and enable sustainable development through purposeful dialogue. In addition, they will reflect on the role of self-awareness in leadership, including how greater awareness of one’s assumptions, perspectives, and responses can strengthen collaboration and support adult growth.
By the end of the course, participants will leave with practical strategies, tools, and approaches to strengthen teaching and learning and to lead ongoing professional growth within their own context.
