NSWPPA Term 4 Professional Learning | PLO Margaret Charlton
Amplification for Experienced School Leaders
The NSWPPA’s new program Amplifications for Experienced School Leaders helps you to continue on your course while you learn, grow, and collaborate.
This program is a virtual four-session program that spans the year. Participants will be experienced school leaders who have the opportunity to explore Generative Leadership Theory, and who will be exposed to innovative practices for collaborative growth. This series is intended for experienced school leaders who are looking to develop their leadership through connections with colleagues who share their work in different countries.
7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Last program for 2022
No matter how competent a person is, he or she will not have sustained and lasting success unless they are able to effectively lead themselves, influence, engage and collaborate with others, and continually improve and renew their capabilities. These elements are at the heart of personal, team, and organisational effectiveness. The 7 Habits will enable you to intentionally align values, behaviours, norms and systems toward a central strategy where culture becomes a force to drive results and creates an operating system for effectiveness in your teams and school.
Leading at the Speed of Trust - Last program for 2022
When trust is low, suspicion is high, and communication is guarded. With high trust, communication, creativity, and engagement improve. Trust is one of the most important aspects in today’s school environment and like any other discipline, creating trust is a learnable skill. With increased trust our attention is redirected towards improving student learning outcomes. Leading at the Speed of Trust will provide the mindset, skillset, and toolset that will measurably increase a participant’s ability to deliver results in a way that inspires trust.

Celebrating our success
Middle Leadership Imperative
This year we have delivered high quality professional learning to approximately 150 middle leaders across NSW. The program is having outstanding success meeting the needs of our Assistant Principals from a wide variety of contexts. The program runs for 4 days, two 2-day seminars across two terms. We have run programs for a variety of school networks; Northern Beaches, Bankstown, Hornsby and Armidale. One program has also been held at our PPA office in Ultimo reaching school leaders from a wide variety of schools. Middle Leaders from both rural and metropolitan schools have engaged in the learning and have highly evaluated the program.
‘This course has opened my eyes to what being a middle leader in a school really means. I have learnt so much over the four days and I have already started to use the knowledge from the course in my practice. It has been one of the most valuable PL's I have attended in my career. I am looking forward to continuing my professional growth thanks to these four days.’
Reaching out to our rural colleagues
It has been very encouraging to see our professional learning is starting to reach our rural colleagues. Whilst our online programs have been readily accessed by school leaders, we are now getting requests to bring various programs to rural areas. This year we have delivered Leading at the Speed of Trust in Broken Hill, Art of Leadership in Orange, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People in the Upper Hunter, Taking the challenge out of challenging conversations in Port Macquarie and the Middle Leadership Imperative in Armidale.
Please remember to reach out if your network is interested in any of our professional learning.
Introducing Tao of Team and Challenging Conversations
Finally, after two years of lock downs we have been able to commence these two programs. Both programs have been highly evaluated and will support the development of our school leaders. We have run trials of the programs and they are ready to be delivered as requested by networks. We will also run centrally organised programs in 2023.
