The Course The role of the pastoral leader, head of year or head of house is changing and evolving. Some schools are safeguarding the historic pastoral system and the role of pastoral/year leader; others have changed the role substantially. If you hold a pastoral post in some schools you may now be a Key Stage Manager, a Learning Manager or Director of Learning. You may be a Behaviour Manager who is not a teacher. This seminar explores the role of ‘the pastoral leader’ in the current climate. It clarifies the expectations, the skills required and how to develop them. Whatever the title, a pastoral post tends to be very demanding and pressurised so the seminar explores how to cope better with the pressures by learning to prioritise and employ effective time management strategies. The conference also covers team building for pastoral leaders as well as how to develop successful leadership styles. The course adopts a case study approach using real life situations to provide practical suggestions and guidance. |
