Andy Jones (Australia) and Cale Birk (Canada)

‘Leading an Observable Learning Culture’.

Our leadership day with Andy Jones in 2019 has been remembered as one of the best PLD opportunities the CPPA has provided. We have worked with other Principal Associations to bring both Andy and Cale to New Zealand in March this year. Those who attended ULead in Banff last year may remember Cale as a presenter.

Summary: Program participants will consider and map the key constructs that of a schools learning culture. Participants will be provided will the tools and knowledge to connect their leadership actions. Actions that enhance observable impact in professional practices that we can actually SEE in our classrooms that lead to improved outcomes for all of our learners.

Learning Outcomes:

Participants will explore and better understand:

• the role and impact of wellbeing and performance factors on school performance and function
• evidence-based approaches for identifying and responding to teacher, team and leadership professional development needs through the institution of Practice-based Interventions (aka: strategic improvement initiatives)
• the impact of Professional Attitude, Mindset and Disposition in the enactment of learning, teaching and leadership practices;
• tools and protocols to assist our teams in evaluating and refining our Observable Impact as a Learning Leader
• how their observable vision and strategic actions can be used to drive their current leadership context to determine areas of strength, opportunity and potential areas of future leadership focus and;
• specific leader and teacher ‘observables’ – actions, activities and assessments to help create a leadership plan to address leadership challenges.
