Leadership Programme
The Leadership Programme is the S7 Consortium's tailored
development programme for the S7 leaders of the future. It is aimed
at curriculum team leaders from within the S7 Colleges who
currently have some sort of responsibility post that includes a
team member or members within its scope.
The five day course has been carefully planned and considered by a
team of S7 senior managers to focus as tightly as possible on the
changing needs and expertise demanded of managers in the middle of
S7 organisations. It is these key posts who often face some of the
greatest pressures in juggling the demands of the classroom with
delivering wider organisational goals and targets.
The S7 Leadership Programme takes place away from the pressures and
pace of the College environment at a training venue set in the
heart of the Surrey countryside near Woking. With a mix of
delegates from across the S7 Colleges, all together in one place,
it is hoped that there will be plenty of opportunity to make
informal connections and networks to discuss and solve issues
facing individuals in Colleges.
Commitment levels to this course are necessarily high. There will
be preparation materials in advance of modules and on-line
materials to access for homework as part of the course delivery.
All dates for the course will be compulsory - the programme
has been designed such that each module will build on its
predecessor. In addition, each delegate will have their own mini
research project to undertake under the guidance of their mentor.
There will be a cost to your college for you to be part of this
programme, so please make sure you first discuss with your Staff
Development Manager your wish to attend.
