Brave Leadership in Schools - an Inquiry: Expansive Education Network and PLP facilitated by Prof Bill Lucas

 

Many senior leaders in schools have reached the conclusion that success in examinations and with Ofsted is a necessary but not sufficient condition for outstanding education. Despite pressures on getting results, on staff recruitment, on managing costs a growing number of leaders want more. They want, in short, to be braver as they play their leadership roles.

PLP has brought acclaimed educational thought-leader, Bill Lucas to lead a unique year-long conversation and enquiry with a group of self-chosen school leaders. On 29th June 2018 from 1pm until 3pm, Bill will provide an initial provocation which will challenge us all to think about what else schools might offer beyond the formal curriculum, to think of new models of school improvement, to rethink professional learning, actively to promote innovation, to reframe relationships with parents and much more. This will be complemented by 2 further sessions with Bill. Dates TBC.

At the launch session, participants will work with Bill to co-design a year’s collaborative enquiry. The enquiry could take many forms including small-scale local tests of change, school to school collaborations, prototyping interventions, hosted conversations…

This planned work links neatly to the next thought-leadership report from PLP, exploring the importance of CPD in school improvement and how schools are ensuring they are making the best decisions.

 

This will be a co-created piece of exploration, guided by schools, and facilitated and supported by Prof Bill Lucas, creator of The Expansive Education at the University of Winchester.
