Development means?

But development is not just a list of words It is not just a management task For it to be a feature of Leadership, it has to be a

“state of mind”, something that is inside you, something you are always concerned with

It is almost part of your personality, something you either ARE or you ARE NOT

This is why many Heads are NOT leaders and why many schools do NOT develop. YOU must change!


Development means?

The School

Buildings

Hygiene

Resources

Finances

Quality

Standards

The Teachers

Skills

Knowledge

Attitudes

Motivation

Techniques

Methods

As a Principal you should be developing TWO things?:

A Manager only manages these things as tasksBut a Leader wants to continuously develop them


Education Leadership-Review

An Education Leader:

1. Has a big VISION of a better school

2. Has strong VALUES with high standards

3. Wants to continuously DEVELOP the school and staff

This is what makes a leader different from a manager

5. Table Group together

6. Write on one half of chart paper, Ingredients List!


Activity-Development

1. We have the ingredients, but HOW do we give these things to the teacher to develop them?

2. What learning methods methods can we use?

3. Look at your ingredients list, how can teachers develop these things?

4. Table Group together
