Teacher Leadership
About the programme
Our Teacher Leadership Programme is intended for teachers across all sectors in Fife’s schools. It is recommended for teachers with around three or more years of experience and it is designed to support them in developing their understanding of aspects of teacher leadership through facilitating a collaborative enquiry.
The course considers the key aspects of collaborative enquiry and encourages reflection on what teacher leadership looks like on a daily basis. The course has been developed in response to the findings outlined in Teaching Scotland’s Future (Donaldson: 2011) and the Professional Standards for teachers in Scotland (GTC Scotland: 2012), in particular the Standard for Career-long Professional Learning. The course contains an element of reading professional literature and current educational policy to inform participants rationale for their collaborative enquiry, professional learning and continually evolving perspective.
The course is designed to ensure that the focus is on developing staff confidence, awareness and ability within the specific role of teacher leadership. It is designed to build on an inquiring stance by ensuring that staff understand and are aware of the importance of enquiry, data and evidence in continuing to lead change which has a positive impact on our young people. The course includes a combination of activities and learning around key leadership qualities such as vision, values and aims and also the requirements for a successful collaborative enquiry as well as the opportunity to develop practical skills which will support participants in leadership roles in the future.
