The Power of Team!

The real challenge we all face is how do we bring our collective energies and efforts to bear on the task of improving learning and outcomes for all our young people?
Everyone expects so much and we face the same relentless pressure, the same high expectations, along with the increased and increasing demands of driving and guiding the school system in this country towards improved performance and better outcomes for every child and very young person... whatever it takes! This climate of higher and higher accountability increases the weight of the expectations facing all of us and as always the stakes are high. The biggest challenge lies in how we build learning leadership; connecting leadership practice with student learning, and then mobilizing the energy and commitment of all relevant partners and stakeholders. This challenge involves not only us as individual leaders, operating from our respective vantage points in a highly complex system, but all of us together... the power of TEAM!

We must re-imagine our systems, processes and provision and be brave enough to ask ourselves the difficult questions about why things are currently not working and what we can do to ensure that there is step change in outcomes for all our young people.
