Headteacher Training in Chongqing, China

Kevinin Chongqing

In December, 2009 Kevin James, Director of the Centre, and Alan Sergison, one of our independent consultants, travelled to Chongqing to deliver 5 days training to 25 primary headteachers. In December, 2010 the headteachers came to Newcastle for two weeks further training and visits to local schools (3 primary and 1 secondary)
The content of the three weeks was based on the main themes that we believe are most relevant to headteachers in the 21st century. These included:

    • Emotional Intelligence
    • Leadership styles.
    • School culture
    • Learning-centred leadership
    • School self-evaluation
    • School improvement planning
      • chiongqing
    • The management of change
    • Motivation
    • Adult learning
    • Managing performance
    • Building high performing teams.
    • Strategic leadership

The Chinese headteachers also learnt about current challenges for UK headteachers.
