In these dynamic times, self-development is crucial for educators and individuals alike. This workshop, inspired by Jennifer’s latest book, “Stretching Your Learning Edges: Growing (Up) at Work,” emphasises the need to evolve personally and professionally. Grounded in adult developmental theory, the session introduces five key strategies for enhancing our roles as collaborative team members and leaders. Participants will hone skills such as self-awareness, embracing complexity, refining communication, fostering reciprocity, and bolstering resilience. Delving into the practical aspects of personal growth, the workshop encourages educators to contemplate what it truly means to ‘grow up’ in the context of leading learning within schools.
