Mastering Communication
Designed for: All levels of school leadership
Delivered by: Jennifer Abrams
Discover the communication secrets of the world’s greatest school teams
Reservations open soon for our next cohort.
The root of the word ‘communicate’ is the Latin ‘communis’, which means ‘to make common’. In other words, the point of communication is to build understanding between parties, rather than just broadcast messages back and forth. The capacity to communicate effectively is arguably the most important skill for school leaders who, in their day-to-day work, must ‘sell’ their own initiatives and manage critique, as well as build rapport and diffuse tensions within school communities.

Part 1 |
A research-based, guided reflection informed by the five key facets of personal and
professional growth as a leader:
- knowing your identity
- suspending certainty
- taking responsibility
- engaging in reciprocity
- building resilience
Part 2 |
Following Part 1, you’ll be asked to take what you’ve learned and apply it to a real challenge you face in your professional teaching practice.
Using a ‘Critical Friends Protocol’, you’ll unpack your Part 1 learning and build an action plan that will continue beyond the end of the course.
