PEACEPLUS ASPIRE delivers Leadership Professional Learning sessions

There were 71 attendees representing Early Years, Primary and Post Primary, North and South of Ireland.  

The sessions were delivered by Mark Barr and Peter Geoghegan, retired ETI Inspectors and were highly interactive with input from all education settings on their experience to date.  Partnerships there ranged from having less than one year’s engagement with Shared Education to those with several years collaboration.  

The sessions explored:

• What leadership skills and attributes are needed in collaborative leadership
• What are the key sources of evidence needed to provide an effective, informative and accurate evaluation of our provision
• What skills, attitudes and dispositions are needed to engage in focused discussions about learning and teaching in the context of Shared Education

Both practitioners and facilitators shared examples of how learners perceived their progress in Shared Education and how their school leaders modelled their vision for shared working on a daily basis and the impact on the local community.
