Primary School Teachers and Coordinators
For participants to:

Explore the principles of leadership and the impact they have in teaching.
Develop reflective skills to evaluate and develop their teaching practice.
Plan and evaluate bearing in mind their leadership skills and an underlying reflective view on their practice.
Implement renewed teaching strategies to increase the learning possibilities of each child.
Leadership skills in the classroom: myths and experience.
What does it mean to lead in the classroom? Travellers, not passengers. Who teaches who? Knowing thyself and knowing others.
Principles and Paradigms. Talent and intelligence. Needs and emotions.
What does a teacher as leader do? The building of knowledge. Goals and skills. Shared vision. Systems. Multimodal communication. Organisation. The Learning Sequence. Resources. Projects. Evaluation.
How is it all done? The classroom as metaphor. Bonds and relationships. Empathy. Moral development. Congruence, contact, connection, construction, conversation and consolidation. Implementing-it-all.
Why do we do what we do? Interdependence, vocation, a sense of purpose, leaving a legacy, making a difference.
Participants will have an active role, analysing, exploring and building educational proposals which interweave previous experience with new ideas. There will be room for different teaching contexts and realities.
