Transformational Middle Leadership PLD: Supporting your leaders to Achieve Strategic Goals

Do your middle leaders need support and inspiration to achieve your school's strategic goals?

Alana Madgwick offers a proven transformational leadership programme that inspires, supports, and develops your middle leaders to lead their learning area with confidence, strategy, and evidence.

She will build collective efficacy with your middle leaders to help your school achieve its strategic goals. These could include implementing the new curriculum, improving teacher practice, and improving literacy and/or numeracy outcomes. Your 2027 strategic plan defines the goals, and Alana will work with your middle leadership team over a select number of PLD meetings to help your leaders achieve them.

The Transformational Leadership Process:

• Define Transformational versus Transactional Leadership
• Evaluate leadership strengths and learning needs
• Set SMART goals and co-construct evidence-gathering tools
• Plan leadership learning- area actions
• Conduct learning walks (teacher practice and student voice)
• Use research- informed practices
• Gather evidence and evaluate progress
• Refine actions via continuous improvement.

There are three tiers of in-house PLD offerings:

Tier 1: Build the Foundations (1 term: 2 workshops)

Tier 2: Lead Change through Evidence (3 terms: Tier 1 plus 4 workshops)

Tier 3: Embed Sustainable Improvement (4 terms: Tier 2 plus 2 workshops).
