The Scottish Government’s Summer School on Educational Leadership is now in its 4^th year.

From August 4^th to 6^th of this year, teams from local authorities and national organisations will be addressing the issue of System-wide change in the context of Curriculum for Excellence.

 Participating teams will be supported, not to say challenged, by radical thinkers and doers in the area of leadership:

• John Seddon of Vanguard, who help organisations change from ‘command and control’ to ‘systems-thinking’ leadership
• Mick Waters of the Curriculum Foundation. This not-for-profit organisation’s starting point is the conviction that there is a universal core at the heart of every successful curriculum
• David Jackson and Denis Mongon of the Innovations Unit, a not-for-profit organisation who support the strategic leadership of change
• David Hopkins of Institute of Education, University of London

The National CPD Team will be opening up parts of the 3-day event on Glow using Glowmeet and the CPDLead professional community on Glow. Please feel free to express an interest in this unique event on Glow.

You will be contacted with more details in July.
