Professional Development Work

Members of the Principals First team offer a range of professional development activities to Principals’ groups or networks, and to Leading Teachers, with a special focus on health and wellbeing.

Among the full-day or half-day seminars we have taken are:

• The Principal as moral leader: the place of leadership in establishing values in the school community.
• What’s important to me? Life balance and setting priorities. Managing the impact of work on life
• Responding to difficult situations and difficult people
• Looking after ourselves and looking out for others
• Recognising and dealing with stress
• Working cohesively as a leadership team.

Other areas in which our team can offer professional development include:

• Mentoring
• Team-building and leadership training
• Networking
• Mediation and conflict resolution
• Coping with difficult parents and staff
• School organisation issues
• Problems of rural schools
