Title:

What it means to work systemically and why it matters

Nugget of Learning: A school from our network shares a key insight into a collaborative leadership practice they find impactful.

Our work together in Term Two will build on your focus from Term One. We will concentrate on ways to work systemically to increase traction, progress, and sustainability of your improvement efforts. Throughout all three sessions you will have the opportunity to focus on what this means for the ‘systems’ you work within and for your ‘self’.

The focus of this session will be what it means to work systemically and why it matters.

You will identify what the different systems are that you are working within and across in your school improvement initiati.

Listening Deck: At the end of each session this term you pair with someone from another school to share impactful practices and to develop closer across school connections.

Title:

How to engage across our identified systems and people

System-wide improvement demands we focus on the specifics of our daily work while also keeping the big picture in clear focus. In this session the focus will be on how to engage across the systems and people you identified in Session One. What do you need to pay attention to make traction in your improvement initiative/s? How can we do this in a way that reduces overload? You will work within your school groups as some of these issues will be specific to each school.

Nugget of Learning: Implementing and Sustaining: We hear from one of our network schools in relation to their leadership practices to support the implementing and sustaining of strategies to progress identified school strategic goals for 2024.
