Catholic Education SA is committed to strong school leadership that is inspired by our Catholic faith.
The Leadership Development Team is responsible for providing quality support, coordination and professional learning in leadership in the Catholic context. We work with aspiring and current Deputy Principals and Principals in Catholic schools in SA to ensure that schools flourish through dynamic leadership.
Key areas of work undertaken by the Leadership Development Team include:
Profiling of Leaders: By knowing our people we provide personalised services for continuous improvement of leadership in CESA.
Principal & Deputy Principal Appointments: By appointing strong leaders we ensure quality schooling in Catholic Education in South Australia.
Developing Aspiring Leaders: By investing in the development of strong leaders we ensure the ongoing health and continuous improvement of Catholic schools.
Professional Learning & Personal Development: By engaging leaders in ongoing professional learning and personal development, leaders grow in dynamic ways.
Principal & Deputy Principal Appraisals and Professional Learning Plans: By supporting quality appraisal processes we challenge leaders to aspire to continual professional and personal growth.
System Health, Wellbeing & Safety: By developing each leader’s capacity in system compliance and accountabilities, we support the growth of healthy, safe school communities.
CESA uses resources from the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL).
AITSL is a collaborative organisation drawing on the expertise of the Australian government, all state and territory education departments and the wider education community.
It promotes excellence in teaching and school leadership practice for the benefit of all young Australians by providing policies, advice and resources to support all Australian educators to become expert practitioners.
The Australian Professional Standard for Principals is a public statement which sets out what principals are expected to know, understand and do to achieve in their work.
