Leadership
Learning First has supported systems and schools around the world develop and implement leadership development strategies. Leadership is not just the work of school principals: teachers, administrators and system leaders all deserve high-quality leadership support and development.
Insight and actions
Series on stress and burnout
The leadership work of teachers and school leaders makes a huge contribution to school culture and student learning. Effective leadership requires a range of skills – from growing your own self-awareness and emotional regulation, to communication and the ability to work well in collaborative groups, instructional leadership, and how to create psychological safety at work. However, development and support for this work is often missing, especially when stress and burnout are growing.
These Insights are the first in a series to support leaders and teachers in their work. The first set of Insights focus on dealing with stress, exhaustion, and burnout. Future topics will include self-care and wellbeing, identity and purpose at work, professional conversations, working in teams, navigating difficult situations and conflict, and creating psychological safety.
