Why You Need to Attend:
For our 3rd AISA School Heads Retreat, we’ve designed something special. With the input of our new Leadership PL Advisory group (all school leaders themselves), we have devised the 2018 SHR programme to have less directed input and more opportunity for Heads of Schools to learn from each other, to network, and to share and reflect on their own expertise in a facilitated and productive way.
Learning Opportunities at the Retreat include:
Collaborative Enquiries exploring the issues you raise. What are some of the issues, challenges and questions you would value thinking through with your peers?
The following titles will be discussed during the workshop:
Future-focused Workshops exploring how Heads can shape the future of international education in our region and globally. What issues do Heads need to be aware of and respond to successfully as we shape the future of international education both in our region and globally?
Open Space Facilitation to pose a question, raise a concern or seek like minds on issues that are relevant to you. What are the burning issues you want to discuss with your peers?
Networking with colleagues. How will conversations with your peers support you today and into the future?
For Heads new to Africa, it will be a chance to get to know your colleagues and experience first-hand the collegial and generous spirit that characterizes the AISA region. All of this will happen in the spectacular and relaxing surrounds of Victoria Falls where there will be ample time to relax as well.The following titles will be discussed during the workshop:
- Mission Integrity: How do we demonstrate that we are living our mission?
- How do we develop leaders and leadership from within the school?
