WHAT IS LEADERSHIP FOR HEADTEACHERS?
Training programme “Leadership skills for head teachers” was created by British Council based on the best British practice, developed under Connecting Classrooms project. It focuses on developing essential leadership skills, while, uniquely, applying these skills to the context of embedding an international and intercultural dimension in the curriculum and ethos of a school. Through training, exchanges of practices and benchmarking, the programme encourages educators to use their professional skills and practices for the benefit for all.
Pilotage of the programme took place in 2014 in cooperation with the Centre for Citizenship Education, receiving high grades from head teachers.
