You Don’t Need a Title to Lead

Innovation in Education Leadership Student Voice Diversity & Social Justice Wellness - School Wellness - Personal
March 2024 - 21CLHK

Are there policies or practices that you would like changed in your school, but you don’t feel your feedback or involvement would be welcome? Do you see opportunities to improve teaching, learning and/or student wellbeing, but don’t feel empowered to take initiative.
Classroom teachers, Counsellors, Librarians and other student contact roles are best positioned to: 1) Identify opportunities to positively influence teaching, learning and student wellbeing; 2) build consensus amongst peers to advocate for change; and 3) keep their peers motivated to realize the desired change.
This will be an interactive presentation where audience members will be asked to reflect on changes they would like to make in their school and use that desired change as a lens for understanding how to influence others in the absence of authority. I will also share my journey of capacity building educators to go beyond their remit to transformatively collaborate with colleagues; to be ChangeMakers.
