Generative and collaborative Peer Learning Community for Heads of School
Being a Head of School is a super complex role. Managing people, crises, change, curriculum, parent expectations, owners, your sanity… the list goes on! Additionally it can be hard to find people who really understand what you are facing and can offer ideas and support.
Here is a place to find support and ideas that can help you through this incredibly difficult job in these uniquely challenging times.
It doesn’t matter if you have been a Head for ten minutes or ten years, a community of people in similar roles will be a great source of professional wisdom and support. We will bring together people from a similar context to share solutions, challenges and experiences, and make all our lives just a little less complex.
This community is here to provide support and connection, and offer an oasis of sanity in our crazy professional lives.
