About the Course

            This need-driven short-term course aims at orienting school leaders with the emerging realities and landscapes of educational settings in the context of Nepal and beyond, thereby nurturing transformative thinking and sensibility. As a school leader, it is crucial to rethink and redefine shifting issues and paradigms in educational/school leadership. In the meantime, it is observed that there is a discrepancy between leaders' perspectives and practices, possibly being guided by conventional leadership approaches, which requires a deeper understanding of educational leadership and the unwavering commitment of educational leaders to navigate the challenging opportunities.

            Leadership matters. Effective leadership matters much to driving the improvement of a school by nurturing and enhancing educational values and experiences. To this, a leader's understanding and insights on crucial aspects of leadership appear to be significant in managing change at school. This course incorporates emerging  issues of school leadership such as developing vision, decision-making, team building, maintaining transparency and accountability, well-being, planning for sustainability, promoting systemic thinking, developing and managing resources, assessment leadership, and so on to meet the growing demands of school leaders and aspirations of stakeholders, thereby transforming the school into a meaningful and collegial learning space. To this end, a leader's critical consciousness and understanding of the pertinent issues of school leadership contributes to reaching the school's mission by ensuring sustainability and fostering futures thinking, akin to braving the wilderness to navigate the chaos.

Overarching Objective: This course aims to nurture and enhance school leaders' educational experiences and sensibility by orienting them with need-driven issues and trends of educational leadership to unfold their signature leadership endeavours.
