When school life is disrupted, everyone turns to the school leader for answers. Teachers need guidance, parents want reassurance, and students need a sense of normalcy. But what happens when leaders are dealing with the same uncertainty themselves?
Join Dr Helen Kelly and Patrick Heenan for an open conversation about what it takes to lead a school through difficult times.
We’ll talk about making decisions when you don’t have all the answers, supporting teachers who are under pressure, helping students feel safe and connected, and looking after your own wellbeing as a leader.
Drawing on Dr Helen’s research into school leadership, we’ll explore practical ways leaders can support their communities without feeling they have to carry everything themselves.
