Wellington Leaders in Education programme (for all teaching and non-teaching staff)
The Wellington Leaders in Education Programme is rooted in the rigorous science of positive psychology and draws upon the latest research into leadership from within and beyond education, supported by the Department of Education at the University of Oxford. It has taken particular inspiration from Harvard Business School’s Leadership Initiative; the University of Pennsylvania’s Positive Psychology Center and the Center for Positive Organizational Scholarship at the University of Michigan. The programme is taught through an examination of key research; the sharing of practical tools; and an emphasis on discussion and reflection.
The programme consists of core and elective modules, and leads to a Wellington Leadership and Coaching Institute Certificate or Diploma of Educational Leadership. Quality assurance for this programme is provided by the Department of Education at the University of Oxford. For more information, please email: kegc@wellingtoncollege.org.uk
