Leading by Learning

Are you a team leader, a school leader, or a leader of a network of schools?

Are you struggling to make significant progress on problems of practice?

Is something preventing you and your colleagues from achieving your improvement?

Then Leading by Learning can help!

Leading by Learning is a partnership between Evaluation Associates and Viviane Robinson Consulting and expertly led by Jacqui Patuawa. Leading by Learning is focused on ways of communicating with people that maximises positive outcomes for learners. Leading by Learning examines how leaders may need to unlearn, and then re-learn, how they think and act in situations they find challenging.

You’ll use Leading by Learning to:

• be more effective in problem-solving conversations and meetings
• reduce the hard-to-discuss issues by building trust
• make greater progress in collaboratively solving problems of teaching and learning.
