Cultivating Leadership in Education
How might we cultivate leadership in the HK education space? How might we strengthen the coherence & collaboration within it?
CATALYST Education Lab (CEL), a HK education non-profit, has convened 40 education leaders serving the secondary school space both within & outside schools (“Shapers”) to join the new “Cultivating Leadership in Education” initiative, which works towards fostering growth in the whole education ecosystem.
In this one-year leadership development experience, Shapers will co-learn & co-inspire via a four-phase journey:
1. Orientation & Goal Setting – identify specific leadership & education areas to share & explore
2. Boston Study Trip – gain inspiration via 5-day HBS On-campus Training & other exposure visits
3. Local Exchanges – translate ideas into actions via Learning Circles
4. Consolidation & Share-outs – summarise reflections & takeaways for follow-up actions/collaborations
Three key elements will be embedded to stimulate Shapers on how to better think, discuss & collaborate: Harvard Case Method, Compassionate Systems Leadership and Leadership Coaching.
Alongside other passionate Shapers, CEL is keen to break silos to cultivate system leadership, unleash local insight & experience within the leaders, as well as co-build a sustainable learning community!
