This project brings together six partners from five countries to address the professional development and changed roles and pressures facing school leaders identified in the OECD and European Network on School Leadership reports. It explores what makes successful entrepreneurs in business, shares practice in leading organisations working with school leaders and identifies the synergies between business and education in order to create a set of training resources to enable current and future leaders to lead effectively in challenging circumstances. The project addresses the Erasmus+ Priorities of improving the leadership and management of schools and developing new training resources through the methodology of in-school ‘professional enquiry’. The project will assess developments in business and school leadership and the current training materials used for school and business leaders. It will draw up a set of key competencies for entrepreneurial school leadership and identify current skills gaps. Schools in both the Primary and Secondary sectors will support the development of a set of training modules through a professional enquiry approach which will produce materials for existing and aspiring school leaders and for bespoke or centralised training. In parallel with the practical resources to be developed, research into the impact and the methodologies used, including case studies, will be undertaken and published. A feasibility study into the potential for accrediting the resources through a joint Masters qualification will be undertaken. Although the lingua franca will be English, resources will also be developed in Slovenian, Romanian, and Finnish. The impact will be to provide an integrated set of resources at a European level which develop skills to equip leaders to manage at a time of greater workload, school autonomy and increased accountability, whilst continuing to deliver improved school performance in a time of austerity. By building confidence in aspiring school leaders, it will address the recruitment crisis. The initial target groups will be 96 school leaders in four countries. Dissemination will take place through the network of the European Schools Heads Association, which has 85,000 members and the European Policy Network on School Leadership. The outcomes of the longitudinal research and a set of policy recommendations will be shared with decision makers. In the longer term we aim to improve the quality of School Leadership training through increasing the numbers undertaking this CPD and the number of institutions across Europe offering the training package.
