The Emerging Principals Program is an intensive 6-12 month program that will enhance strategic leadership capability to ensure participants are ready to take up Principal roles.
The program is practical while research-based, drawing on the latest available evidence about effective learning and teaching in schools and school leadership.
During the Emerging Principals Program, learning is supported and consolidated through powerful online collegial tutorials and one-to-one coaching/mentoring, helping to build mutually-supportive, reflective and professional collegial groups. Using a 'blended learning' approach, these processes are enhanced through face-to-face interactions, field visits, experiential and problem-based learning, case studies and action research. This allows programs to be designed and delivered in a flexible way, catering to the needs and priorities of individual participants.
