Leadership & Management Programme

Principals have a key role to play in making a difference to the lives of students


The success of any school is driven by its leaders and managers. They set the tone. They guide their staff. They shape teaching and learning, ensuring teachers and students can work together in harmony, to produce a learning experience that benefits every member of the organization, young or old. Leaders and managers bring a moral purpose to their work. And that purpose is to make a difference to the lives of their students.


Time and again, research demonstrates that great teaching has the biggest impact on student learning. So what can dedicated leaders and managers do to develop their staff, support their students and maximize the impact of the education they deliver?


QHC’s Leadership and Management Programme provides the answers every leader and manager will want to hear. Based on international best practice, the programme focusses on the key teaching and learning interventions leaders and managers can implement in their schools to enhance teacher quality, develop classroom practice, and maximize student learning.


The programme is divided into seven custom-built courses, designed to meet the needs of busy leaders and managers:


  • Observing Learning
  • Instructional Coaching
  • Learning Walks and Book Scrutiny
  • Effective Peer Observation
  • Instructional Rounds
  • Lesson Study
  • Using Video to Enhance Classroom Practice

Each individual course significantly enhances the knowledge and understanding leaders and managers bring to their jobs, while also giving participants ample opportunity to implement practical, supportive solutions that drive improvements in teaching and learning.


By taking part in this programme, leaders and managers not only gain an intimate understanding of how they can drive improvements across their organizations, they also have multiple opportunities to practice implementing tried and tested interventions that help raise achievement and improve standards. 


QHC’s Leadership and Management Programme provides leaders and managers with the tools, knowledge and strategies they need to develop themselves and their staff. So sign up today and start your journey.
