2. Becoming an Autonomous Teacher-Leader
In this course you will learn to become a leader, someone who can envision, develop and implement change necessary to benefit her community. Someone who has the skills and the foresight to know what needs to be done and the courage to do it.
You will develop skills for education in the 21st century that require teachers to
- be innovative
- adapt to constantly-changing circumstances
- know how to ‘lead from behind’
- inspire colleagues, learners and management
You will develop the personal, emotional, ecological and spiritual strength necessary to become a true leader in your institution. You will join a community of dedicated, enthusiastic educators who, like yourself, want to make a real difference. This is an ideal follow up to the LAE program as it is will help educators to implement learner autonomy and advising in their institutions.
