QELi is delighted to partner with Loupe, Andrew Jones and Michael Hines to offer you School Leader Performance and Wellbeing Webinar Series.
Traditional school leader wellbeing interventions are often designed to address problems once they’ve occurred and often lack the contextual relevance to reliably impact practice. They also often fail to make crucial connections between wellbeing and performance and how each supports the other. This webinar series draws upon many years of collective research and practice working with schools and educators in Australia and right across the world. Loupe specialises in supporting school leaders to collectively understand and ideate interventions aligned with school strategic improvement initiatives – which empower learning leaders to drive the enhancement of team wellbeing and performance.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
Through the application of school improvement research, educator wellbeing enhancement and leveraging systems thinking approaches; this webinar series will support participants to:
- Build their own capacity and efficacy as a school leader
- Build the capacity and efficacy of their schools’ professional workforce
- Influence the systemic school-based factors that impact individual and collective wellbeing
- Drive a more positive culture for leading, teaching and learning
