What is Instructional Leadership?
Instructional leadership describes the process Principals and Leadership Teams go through to implement and embed an effective K-12 literacy program and the High Impact Teaching Practice program. Leaders will also use this approach to develop their teachers’ instructional capacity and curriculum knowledge.
Leaders will be supported to
- Effectively lead teaching and learning improvements
- Lead curriculum improvement in schools
- Use data to design, prioritise and timeline the improvement journey
- Ensure optimum collaboration to maximise the success of the program
How Leaders are Supported
Professional Learning Sessions
Catalyst offers professional learning sessions, that build on the skills of Principals and their Leadership Teams to ensure the best possible outcomes for their schools.
Topics such as effective mindsets and practices, assessment and intervention, improving curriculum resource usage and the role of an instructional leader will form part of these professional learning sessions.
Professional Community
All Principals across the system come together twice a year to connect as instructional leaders for Catholic Leaders’ Day, to learn together and to share the unique challenges they face in managing organisational change within a school environment.
Mentoring
All Principals and Leaders will have the opportunity to work with their Performance Improvement Leaders to design their Catalyst journey, refining it along the way.
