Strategic Leadership: 🔸 Strategic leaders focus on long-term planning and resource alignment to drive the school towards success. 🔸 Our programme equips participants with strategic leadership insights, empowering them to make informed decisions and optimise resource allocation in their educational institutions. We're excited to announce that this September will mark the launch of the ninth cohort of The Aspiring Black Heads Programme, continuing to support black teachers and educators in their journey towards impactful leadership. Our programme is designed to help you discover and implement effective leadership styles that resonate with your unique approach and contribute to the success of your school community.

Exceptional leadership I believe can make a difference to pupil outcomes; with the right strategy and emotional leadership, it can inspire our next generation. I found it interesting that UNESCO are looking to survey across the world to see global variations on education leadership. I look forward to seeing their results and what can our education system take from this. #leadership #education #educationalleadership #unesco #pupils https://lnkd.in/encQdBVw.

Experiential leadership programs are revolutionizing how young leaders are shaped, providing them with the tools to make decisions, take initiative, and foster accountability. A new Getting Smart Blog by Dr. Antonio B. Boyd highlights the impactful work of The Gentlemen's and Ladies' Leadership Clubs (GLC, LLC), founded by Dr. Stephen Peters. These programs offer equitable access to leadership opportunities for middle school students, emphasizing curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving. The results speak volumes: significant increases in attendance, a drop in behavioral incidents, and improved academic performance. These programs are not just preparing students for jobs but helping them create their careers.

If you could give a piece of advice to your younger self, what would it be? We asked our 2023 HERS Leadership Institute participants that very question, and many of them answered that they would tell their younger self to be more confident and embrace being a leader. Alums of the HERS Leadership Institute (HLI) emerge more confident and skilled at leading with their unique voice, providing institutions and the higher education sector overall with a much-needed infusion of bold new leadership. Participants are asked to share their vision of leadership and what they hope to contribute to their respective institutions and are then challenged to develop the skills to actualize their professional vision. Applications for the Summer HLI are due February 23, 2024! If you’re ready to become a more dynamic leader for yourself and your institution, consider investing in yourself and apply to the 2024 Summer HERS Leadership Institute. So, if you could give a piece of advice to your younger self, what would it be? Thank you, Marieke Van Puymbroeck, for your thoughtful response! Marieke Van Puymbroeck, Ph.D., CTRS, FDRT is the Associate Dean of the Graduate School at Clemson University and an HLI July ’23 alum.

Watch out for this great report!

As we celebrate International YOUTH DAY, watch this video, as it impacts ALL our Futures, especially our Future Leaders. The NEXT (NOW) Generation of Youth Leaders, will ONLY be as STRONG and CREDIBLE as their CHARACTER. YOUTH who LACK Character, become Leaders who LACK Character!!!! We cannot be CASUAL about the CHARACTER of our Youth and expect CHARACTER to be PRESENT in their Lives and Leadership. To NOT Prioritize and Invest in BUILDING the 'CHARACTER' of our YOUTH, is to teach our YOUTH that THEIR PERSONAL Character is: • NOT Relevant, • NOT a Priority, • NOT Important, • NOT Significant, • NOT Valuable to THEIR FUTURE Leadership. If the PERSONAL Character of our YOUTH is NOT being PREPARED 'FOR' Leadership, Character will NOT be PRESENT. 'IN' their Leadership. Through my 'Youth Leadership Character Development' (YLCD) Workshop, we are PREPARING our YOUTH Leaders to 'BE' Leaders of CHARACTER NOW, and in the FUTURE.
