Feedback

First Step into Leadership

“ I have become more committed to the ethos of my team. I’m also more aware of the perceptions of others and the need to consider how I communicate.” “ Making much more effort to read blogs/articles/journals to keep up to date.” “ With the whole school project I was given the opportunity to influence the whole school, this is the first time I have been able to do this.” “ More self aware and believe I can confront difficult situations and motivated others by coaching them into making decisions.”

“ Working with other teachers that are just as enthusiastic” “ Seeing ideas come to fruition is empowering. Spurred on to seek new projects” “ Observing at the secondary” “ Meeting other teachers within the cluster” “ Coaching”
