THREE FOCUS AREAS FOR PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL LEADERS
Professional Outlook
School leaders who wish to develop world class schools must have a professional outlook towards education. This requires them to look far and beyond the boundaries of their schools and search for global best practices that can be adapted to meet the needs of their schools.
Professional Development
School leaders need research based and structured program with continuous support to develop the required skills and competencies in all the seven school leadership domains.
Professional Network
