For the fourth year running, the Birmingham Nursery Schools TSA, working in conjunction with the Centre for Research in Early Childhood (CREC), is offering a fully-funded* leadership development programme for ambitious teachers who wish to develop their leadership skills and confidence in order to gain promotion. This course is open to all teachers working in Nursery or Primary Schools in the Birmingham area.
The programme aims to provide participants with a variety of tools, theories, knowledge, skills and confidence. The facilitated approach will encourage participant involvement and will aim to embed new ideas by promoting experiential and reflective learning.
Leadership of practice excellence is central to the focus of the course, with strong additional emphasis placed on developing participants’ confidence and enhancing their personal capacity and capability to become the next generation of leaders.
This is an ideal short course for those who might be considering embarking on NPQML or NPQSL in the near future.

Feedback from some of the teachers who have studied with us for far:
"This course has had an immense impact on my professional development. For the first time in a long time, I have actively and explicitly reflected on my skills, not only as a teacher but as a leader. It is great to know that I have the potential to lead change. I feel confident in my abilities as a leader and I am now looking forward to the next chapter in my career." - Saeeda
