The Success Zone has just released its 2012 Educational Leadership program that integrates one-on-one development with leadership team development, mentoring and coaching.
Based on the principles in the Success Zone book, and congruent with leading brain-based practice as outlined in John Medina’s Brain Rules, this exciting new program takes school senior leadership teams from good to great.
One key outcome of recent neuroscience research around learning is positioned by John Medina as: “You can improve your chances of remembering [ie integrating] something if you reproduce the environment in which you first put it into your brain.” (Brain Rules, p119). This provides some understanding why traditional ‘off-site’ professional development (including leadership retreats) are less effective at true development. The design of the Success Zone Educational Leadership program is to provide regular ‘chunked’ and in-situ opportunities for developing leadership practice for teams and individuals.
Given the ’boutique’ nature of this program, there are definite limits to availability, and registration for a small number of school in each of the states of Australia is now open.
For further information, the PDF brochure and the 2012 registration form, see the Leadership page.
