SELT European Visits for Headteachers

Context and Setting:

The international visit builds on the experience, processes and leadership learning embedded in New Visions.  It offers an innovative and bespoke opportunity to extend your leadership enquiry into a chosen theme in an international setting.  Working collaboratively, and under the guidance of skilled facilitators, you will engage in a leadership dialogue to enrich and deepen your own vision and practice.  The visit is not an end in itself but seen as a catalyst for future networking and collaborative learning.  This may be in the field of leadership or creating curricular links for pupils/students.

Locations:

Visits in 2009 took place in Dublin, Ireland and Oslo, Norway. New visits are to be planned for 2010 and full information should be available in May 2010. If you would like to be emailed this information once it is available then please contact Carly Shannon.

Practical Arrangements:

SELT will organise:

• An e-learning forum for leadership learning.
• Leadership Visit Programme
• Arrange bed and breakfast accommodation in centrally-based hotels of good quality (3 nights)
• Provide experienced/skilled facilitators to maximize the impact of the visit
• Produce guidance materials and related academic think/stimulus pieces and a Learning Journal.
• Following the international visit SELT will support opportunities for networking, e-learning and communities of learning.

You will undertake to:

• Book your own return flight to the chosen destination from a convenient airport (and inform SELT of your flight details).
• Be willing to pay for your travel to/from the airport and internal travel within the city of your choice.
• Take out appropriate travel/health insurance cover.
• Pay for meals and drinks (other than breakfast)
