Moving into school leadership isn't easy. In this session, Chris will investigate ways which you can develop your skills and experience not only in geography but across the school which will help you move into leadership positions.
Chris will explore some fundamentals of leadership, assess what we really mean by leadership and look at how moving into a leadership role can be embedded seamlessly into your career pathway.
