This needs to be undertaken urgently\, as Australia faces a major challenge in identifying and developing the next generation of school leaders” (Barbara Watterston).\n\nThis program aims to support a greater number of talented women in the sector to consider leadership positions\, actively seek leadership opportunities\, to build motivation and confidence to tackle leadership complexities and overcome gender barriers.\n\nAnecdotally\, there is a sense that in our sector\, lack of leadership aspiration or ambition is indeed an issue\, and the program would seek to ignite aspiration.\n\nThe program would provide an opportunity for aspirants to connect with and learn from other successful women\, from both inside and outside of education\, to share effective practices and lessons learned and to explore strategies for encouraging other women into leadership.\n\nIt will also provide the opportunity for participants to engage in a sustained work shadowing experience with an established Principal in order to fully explore and perhaps demystify the role.\n\n“Women in leadership have shared their frustration of being in a role without trusted colleagues to mentor them\, without effective orientation to the job\, without resources or release to leave school to access professional learning.” … “autonomy and freedom that came with the role was overshadowed by feeling as though she had to ‘muddle your way through’”. (Netolicky\, et al.\,2018\, p. 217)\n\nSession 1 – Why a focus on Women in Leadership?\n\nWomen in School Leadership: If not now when?\n\n Exploring the school leadership context – research and trends\n Why me?
