Stairway of Successful Innovation - Leadership

One of the first key elements of ensuring successful innovation is developing a strong culture of collaborative leadership. Over the past three years our school has been relentless in building capacity in this area. We have concentrated on developing:

• a culture of collaboration at the leadership table. Our schools leadership team has input from all areas of the school. All leaders have shared input and ownership into the overall direction of the school. Their team perspective is a part of that.
• coherent schoolwide systems that support a shared understanding and coherence across the school.
• a transparent and honest team culture that values accountability and professional reflection
• building leadership capability with targetted professional learning support
• a strong and clear school vision and values
  

Bringing all those elements together over the past four years has been a huge focus. Further detail about the Vision that then gives the foundation for further development is a post in itself so look out for this next week!
