Improve Middle Leadership in Schools.
“Michael’s book will equip and inspire leaders as they learn the art of transformational collaboration.” - Dr. Chris Jansen, Leadership Lab, University of Canterbury, New Zealand
MiddleLeader.com offers solutions to these problems…
Problem #1
All too often we label teachers as leaders but don’t empower them with a clear vision of what we expect them to do and how to do it.
Accessing resources from this website will:
Broaden your perspective
Expand your on the leadership skills and attributes required to succeed as a leader in your school.
Surface new ideas
for leading collaboration that will improve teaching and learning across the school.
Align top level objectives
Ensure middle leaders align top level objectives of senior leaders with the needs and interests of their team members.
Ensure buy-in
to large initiatives that stretch the capacity of leaders across the school.
Problem #2
Even if we are able to ensure that teacher leaders are clear on what is expected of them and they are bought into achieving senior leadership’s top level objectives, they still need to overcome a myriad of challenges within their team, which aren’t always transparent and often surface much later in the school year.
Accessing resources from this website will help middle leaders:
Align with senior leaders
to ensure their active support.
Understand how team develop in stages
and what how their responsibilities and leadership objectives change during each stage.
Understand how to set goals
that align the top level objectives of senior leaders with the needs and interests of team members.
Understand how to mitigate difficult behaviors
and engage in professional learning conversations that build consensus on moving forward.
Create a forum for job embedded PD
that holds leaders across the school accountable for identifying, understanding and overcoming shared challenges.
Develop a Sandbox for teachers
to collaborate free from the myriad of distractions and obstacles that prevent transformational collaboration, including the obstacle of time.
