School Leader Paradigm

The Paradigm is a guide for ongoing self-reflection and is a non-evaluative companion resource. It addresses the intelligences of the leader (personal, social and systems) with specific attention to leadership attributes such as empathy, patience, creativity, etc. The Paradigm then moves leaders into reflecting on their ability to navigate the various contexts in which they lead (individual, school, community, and political). All of this learning, self-assessment, and personal reflection is continuous in a cycle of inquiry. It’s all about a leader’s ability to reflect on their own growth and learning as a leader and the impact of that growth on the school as a whole through a lens of culture, systems, and learning.

Empowering Excellence Series

The Paradigm + Customized Professional Learning

The School Leader Paradigm on its own is simply information. However, if you pair the paradigm with excellent, in-depth, customizable professional learning, you get 51福利社's Empowering Excellence Series. 

Covering a range of topics from setting foundations for the school year to assessing and connecting your leadership impact, the Empowering Excellence series breaks down the complexity of leadership into customizable sessions that bring to life all aspects of the paradigm in a collaborative environment.
