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, is looking to convene ~20-40 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: Leadership Coaching (peer & professional), Harvard Case Method & Compassionate Systems Leadership.
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!
Guiding Philosophy
Target Audience
Our goal is to convene ~20-40 education leaders to form the CLE Shaper Community:
-
Education leaders serving the secondary school space

-
-
Demonstrates effective leadership within their own organisation
-
Demonstrates strong commitment in serving the wider HK education community
-
Willing to assume the role of “Shapers”, i.e. not only joining as passive participants, but actively shaping the collective experience within the initiative & the wider education system
