What do participants say?

Day 1: Aligning people around your shared purpose

“A valuable course that focused on how to shape the ‘narrative’ of a school/ organisation.”

“The analysis of developing Vision, Mission and Values was incredibly useful, reminding me of the importance of a shared purpose to ground and align staff, students and community.”

Day 2: Assessing your school readiness for improvement

“The most important thing for me was the tools shared with us to build capacity in order for us to assess our readiness [for improvement].”

“I had an opportunity to reflect [on] my school context and identify areas of strength, opportunities and gaps and identify action steps to move forward.”

Day 3: Validating an improvement initiative with data

“This [validation] methodology both reinforces the ideas I already had around improvement but adds new structures and processes that align with and enhance what I currently do.”

“We all know the hunch isn’t enough, but having a methodology makes validating initial thoughts possible/credible.”

Day 4: Leading your people through change

“I feel like I can move from floundering or an ad hoc approach to tackling resistance and can now very deliberately plan for managing it for different initiatives both current and new.”
