​A message from Joseph, Graduate of the Lead and Expert Teachers Colloquium

 The Lead and Expert teacher Colloquium provided an opportunity to refine my understanding of self, my language around leadership and my own leadership strengths.

Within our school, we have been working on moving towards a collaborative culture built on a foundation of collective efficacy. The DP Leadership Colloquium continued to add depth of understanding, provide possible frameworks, models for innovation and affirm our future direction.

The program was incredible helpful and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to develop their leadership skills in a schools context.
