NZEALS 2023 Leadership Forums
Continuing from our NZEALS 2022 conference theme of Tūrangawaewae: a place to stand, our overall theme for NZEALS 2023 leadership forums is
Standing with awareness: knowing and Being your self, as you lead.
Whaowhia te kete mātauranga
Fill the basket of knowledge.
NZEALS leadership forums are a space to Be, to think together, to share each other’s experience across the sectors of education, and to grow our awareness of our self as we explore leadership issues and potential.
In Term 1 we start the year by acknowledging the extreme issues faced by many educational leaders, particularly in areas affected by Cyclone Gabrielle, and learning from post-earthquake leadership experience in Christchurch.
Mā mua ka kite a muri, mā muri ka ora a mua
Those who lead give sight to those who follow, those who follow give life to those who lead.
In Terms 2 and 3 we offer three linked sessions in consecutive weeks. These consider the term’s theme – of cultural responsivity; of relational trust - from three perspectives: the leader, the team and the individual.
Finally, in Term 4 we re-consider our Tūrangawaewae in the light of the year’s discussion. Where do we each stand now, as a leader?
Session Resources
Here we reflect on what it means to develop a culture of trust that has people at the heart and transparency at the centre. What might it mean for us as leaders if we have an open mind, an open heart, and an open will?
Here we consider what it means to lead in a culturally responsive way that acknowledges Te Tiriti o Waitangi and enhances our bicultural practices in genuine ways.
