About this workshop


As teachers, we dedicate years of our lives to honing our craft. Before qualifying to enter the classroom we commit to extensive training, countless lesson observations, and constant feedback from mentors and professors, all in pursuit of the ultimate goal: making magic happen for our students. Yet leadership often happens almost by accident, with little or no training or preparation! So what happens when we're thrown into a department or team leadership position? Can being a great teacher of kids automatically translate into being a great leader of adults? 


It's a daunting prospect, but fear not! The truth is, every teacher is a leader from the moment they step into the classroom. You lead your students, your colleagues, and even your students’ parents. And if you look over your shoulder and see even one person following you then, congratulations, you're already a leader! 


 Over two days, we'll explore the art of leadership and the science of management. We'll dive into not just what you lead, but why you lead, and how you can lead. Starting with your unique strengths and style, you'll develop a deeper understanding of who you are as an educator and what that allows you to bring to the table as a leader – and you’ll pick up some useful tools and strategies to kick start your journey in international school leadership on your way. 


 Are you ready to lead? The answer is almost certainly yes!
