In this Masterclass you will
- Learn about the significance of a trauma-informed and systems-aware leadership strategy which is in line with the ‘collaboration and shared responsibility’ foundations of school leadership and governance in Steiner schools in Australia. This significance particularly relates to meeting complexities of the contemporary Steiner school context
- Develop capacity to implement trauma-informed and systems-aware change aligned with your school’s strategic plans- through a community of practice approach
- Build capacity to lead for continuous revitalisation of Steiner teaching and learning practices for inclusion and equity
There will be pre-reading sent to all registered participants prior to the start of the masterclass. Materials will also be provided for use back at schools to help embed the concepts and practices developed over the two days together.
