Vous avez du mal à résoudre des problèmes en leadership éducatif. Comment pouvez-vous améliorer vos capacités ?

Polya’s method: 1. Understand the Problem • Identify Challenges in Leadership: Begin by clearly identifying the specific challenges in educational leadership and Gather Information to gain a comprehensive understanding of the problem. 2. Devise a Plan • Explore Potential Solutions: Brainstorm and consider possible solutions based on the gathered information. • Prioritize Solutions: Evaluate the feasibility, impact, and resources required for each potential solution. 3. Carry Out the Plan • Implement the Chosen Solution and Monitor Progress 4. Review and Reflect • Analyze the Outcome, Learn and Adjust: Reflect on what worked and what didn’t.

Many a colleagues that I know do not practice reflection and hence cannot have clarity in what they do(or probably they're not seeking for it!). Educators can seek help from other educators or human development coaches or other experts who can help in practicing reflections regularly. If educators do not reflect then students may never learn/ understand what it means as the educator themselves have little or no clarity.

1. Go for an RTI R - Reflect T - Think I - Introspect Reflect on past challenges Think about possible solutions & how you could have handled the problems better Introspect about your areas of improvement 2. Learn from past mistakes & from other people's experiences 3. Recognise your strengths & weaknesses. Use your strengths to your benefit & work on areas of improvement 4. Strategise for the future 5. Learn from experts through online courses. 6. Be aware of innovations in your field that can ease your discomfort & help face problems in the future.

From my vantage point, enhancing problem-solving skills involves practicing critical thinking, seeking diverse perspectives, and learning from past experiences. Engaging in professional development focused on problem-solving techniques can also be beneficial. Regularly reflecting on challenges and applying creative approaches further sharpens your abilities.

In educational leadership, incorporating diverse perspectives from teachers, students, parents, and other stakeholders enhances problem-solving. It broadens understanding, fosters community, sparks creativity, and increases support for solutions.

Share your learning & allow others to share their learnings with you. Seek perspectives by engaging with different stakeholders. Gather all information, suggestions, viewpoints & expertise. Keep adding to your think tank & knowledge bank. Retrieve the required solution as & when required based on the problem at hand.

To enhance problem-solving skills in educational leadership, stay updated on educational trends, attend workshops and conferences, pursue further education, and learn from peers. Reflect on and apply new knowledge to practical challenges to build confidence and effectiveness.

INNOVATE OR EVAPORATE!! EMPOWER YOURSELF OR GET ERADICATED!! STAY UPDATED OR YOU WILL BE RENDERED USELESS!! Continuously endeavour to update, upskill, upgrade & upscale yourself. Learn from your surroundings, learn from colleagues, learn from stakeholders, learn online, learn offline, attend seminars, webinars, workshops, training programmes, conferences, pursue higher education, network & add to your net worth.

1. Detailed Planning: Outline clear steps, timelines, and responsibilities. 2. Effective Communication: Ensure all team members understand their roles. 3. Progress Monitoring: Track progress regularly and address issues early. 4. Flexibility: Adapt the plan as needed to handle unforeseen challenges.

STRATEGISING STEPS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING 1. Identify the problem 2. Identify your strengths & weaknesses 3. Note down the above along with other constraints at hand including time, resources etc. 4. Involve all members & delegate roles 5. Set some ground rules 6. Make a skeletal plan 7. Communicate the same to the team 8. Based on inputs from the team, add more details to the plan 9. Follow up & monitor progress 10. Adapt & adopt changes as when required

Once the plan is executed, it is imperative to not leave it at that but one must evaluate the outcome. Every outcome comes with its positives, negatives & areas of improvement & lessons to learn. The same can serve as our guiding light for the future (constructive feedback). This helps one to refine & re-evaluate, hence helping us find better solutions for the future.

Embracing change is key to enhancing problem-solving in educational leadership. Stay open to new ideas and risks, as this fosters growth and innovation. Adaptability and resilience will help you lead effectively through evolving challenges.
