ABOUT THIS COURSE

This new practical course for Spring 2023 is designed to help kick-start your pastoral leadership career. It is designed for people who are new into or are aspiring to pastoral leadership positions and aims to give you the confidence to manage and lead effectively. We’ll take some best practices, theories and experiences from within the pastoral teaching world and from further afield to create a discursive, thought-provoking day. We’ll take time to understand the new skills needed to engage those around you, both managing practicalities of getting the job done, and inspiring your team to work with you to achieve goals. We’ll look at some different styles of management and where each is effective and the potential pitfalls and how you can develop resilience to protect yourself and thrive under pressure. This course can also be brought into your school, and tailored accordingly, if required.
