Consulting for Change

Leadership Pathways

Overview


The Carnegie Extending Leadership Provision seeks to support school and local authority leaders in developing their own potential and responding to the needs of the system. Consulting for Change is designed specifically for those colleagues who will be working in support of other schools on behalf of their local authority.


Programme Content


The core elements of the provision are two consecutive days of facilitated learning and development and a follow up day after about three months during which period it is expected that colleagues will have engaged in support work with another school and to have continued to work with their network of Consultant colleagues. The days will be active and practical supported by theoretical underpinning and the opportunity to engage with real scenarios. There will be a comprehensive reading list provided.
