Leadership questions for schools
The prospect and potential of taking on the second phase of the Building Powerful Learners programme will inevitably raise all manner of important questions. There are strategic, leadership and management questions that deserve consideration before school leaders can make a reasoned decision about how to implement their chosen phase 2 route.
Here we outline the leadership considerations necessary for the successful implementation, namely:
1. Shared Values – How does phase 2 of Building Powerful Learners fit with our school’s ethos?
2. Skills – What sort of skills/competencies would the programme enhance?
3. Staff – How could we accommodate the staff development approach suggested?
4. Systems – How do we prevent it becoming a workload issue?
5. Structure – Who will lead it and what accountability may be needed?
6. Style – How are we going to support the programme?
7. Strategy – How do we expect phase 2 of Building Powerful Learners to work? How will we create and agree a plan to pull all this together?
