Middle Leaders Mastermind Group - Cohort 1 (ASIA and APAC)
The Aspiring to Early Stage Middle Leaders Mastermind program is a comprehensive leadership development opportunity that helps you build the skills and dispositions you need to be a successful middle leader. The program combines individual coaching, group mentoring, and peer support, and includes a rich curriculum full of professional learning resources and guest masterclasses.
The program is structured around three key "signposts," each with three areas of development, and is designed to help you overcome unique blocks and issues, build your leadership foundation, and improve your leadership skills. Whether you're just starting out in your leadership journey or looking to take your skills to the next level, this program has something to offer you.
Brain Changers - a metacognition mastery masterclass series
Coming very soon will be a series of 30-45 minute masterclasses on a single metacognition concept.
Each webcast session will follow the broad Know-Be-Share model, where I will
Introduce you to a curated version of the single metacognition concept
Illustrate how the concept impacts on education and leadership
Provide guidance and experience on how you can integrate this idea into your world
Provide ideas and materials on how you can share this out in your sphere of influence
The domain model for Brain Changers seeks to make more sense of the disaggregated and growing field of ‘metacognition’.
The concepts will be organized largely into three topics:
Brain State - knowing the black-box functionality in a way that improves its operation
Learn State - knowing and integrating the neurobiology of learning and change
Mind State - knowing and using the processes of self-awareness and self-regulation
Calendaring and further details will be released very soon, and places will be limited by the platform I will be using.
Each of the topics below represents a single 30-minute session. Each will come with the core idea, time for discussing and making meaning of the concept, resources and guidance for integrating the idea into practice.
And of course, there always must be a ‘steak knives’ offer. So each of the sessions will be recorded and uploaded to my online Metacognition Mastery LM., Participants in the live session will have free access to the recording and resources for each session.
And… collaborative learning post the content session will be supported with ongoing engagement with a Padlet Wall for each session.
And… further extra learning shots (recorded), Deeper Dive (live) and Ask Me Anything (live) session will further deepen mastery.
Each 30 minute masterclass, itself, is metacognitvely designed to introduce the content, to allow participants make meaning of the idea and to springboard back into practical actions to take in the classroom.
More than talking-head content transmission, each session is designed metacogntively for impact and legacy.
Register your interest here and I will inform you of the imminent release of the Brain Changer program.
Leading Teacher Teams - your first 30 days (Aug 7 repeat)
🌞 It's that time of year again - summer break is drawing to a close and educators are beginning to ponder a return to school. This year, who knows what it will really look like.
And maybe the July 31 session was not the best timing for you. So here is an alternative date for a live repeat of the First 30 Days webinar.
Are you feeling ready to start leading your team in 'interesting' times?
👉 Team meetings occupy precious time.
👉 Often, not everyone wants to be there.
👉 Often, people are not clear on why meet as a group.
👉 Often, people are absent while present. Emails, marking, distractions (face-to-face and online).
👉 Then there is the stuff you have to hand down - another change, another initiative.
Leading an academic team can feel isolating and challenging.
So here's my plan.
👉 Create purpose for the year for your team so that forward action becomes clear. This unloads you from the need to motivate.
👉 Create ways of working that support the team's purposeful action. This unloads some of the work managing people in your team.
👉 Build empathy for and within your team, where you know people and the challenges they face. Learn how to do this in a 90-minute online learning session with me. Walk away with new processes, resources and knowledge on how to set up your first 30 days of leading your team.
👉 Some leadership development programs focus on the crucial first 90 days of new leadership.
In education, we have less time than this - by the time 90 days have elapsed, the first term is usually over. As a teacher leader, I reckon you have 30 days to establish your team culture.
The three prime activities above are what every teacher leader could and should lead in order to establish the right forward action, robust empathy, and a productive culture.
Do these three things and your team will be able to better navigate through and perform in what is likely to be continuing challenge in the coming 12 months.
These three Actions will be explored and defined as processes you can follow:
Establishing the Primary Purpose of the team - what will your team be striving to achieve in this current academic year
Establish Ways of Working that support the purpose and make it easier for you as a leader to manage unhelpful behaviours in your team.
Build an empathic understanding of your team and its individuals - especially around the problems and challenges they face in both executing their teaching roles and meeting the aspiration of the team’s purpose.
Takeaway resources and ongoing support will be made available during the session.
A nominal cover charge of $19.97 (SGD) will help defray the cost of delivery. Later, other similar sessions will be available to support you in your leadership journey.
