This initial session has provided a solid foundation for our school leaders to implement systematic improvements, and we are very excited to progress with this programme.”
Over the coming months, participants will receive support through in-school coaching related to their unique change projects.They will take part in online ‘community of practice’ sessions to exchange ideas and share experiences with their peers.
