Leadership Development
Developing leadership skills in your staff can increase your school system’s ability to develop and implement plans, respond to changing conditions, reduce conflict, and produce results for students.
School Leadership Services has worked with a wide variety of school systems and school organizations to train administrators and teachers in practical, effective leadership skills. Each program is customized to fit the organization’s needs for both immediate results and long-term improvement. Generally, however, our leadership training, whether single or multi-day programs, is designed and delivered around the following research-based leadership development themes:
Feedback Intensive Program
The
core of any contemporary leadership development program should be assessment
for development where a variety of assessment instruments are embedded
in programs. These assessment instruments enable to get an intensive and
comprehensive look at their own leadership strengths and developmental
needs. An assessment package can include, but is not limited to, any or
all of the following (click for description of each instrument):
Identifying and Understanding Your Basic Drives
Skill-Based Training
Skill-based
training should focus on the development of job specific skills that will
enhance the learner’s job performance. Custom-designed modules can
be developed upon request. Sample modules that are frequently requested
include such topics as these:
360° Feedback
360°
feedback is often the most powerful part of leadership development. The
participant is able to see how he/she perceived his/her performance against
the perceptions of boss(es), peers, and direct reports. School Leadership
Services uses two of the finest 360° assessments:
Development
Assignments, Developmental Relationships, and Hardships
Leadership
development is a career long, if not life long, process. Job assignments
that provide developmental opportunities and developmental relationships,
such as networking and working
with a mentor/coach; and both personal and professional hardships
enhance one’s leadership capacities. School Leadership Services
provides opportunities for leaders to reflect on and make sense of the
aspects of their development through modules, such as:
and through the offering of executive coaching services.
