School leaders

Key drivers to school choice

ISQ has just released the latest findings from its What Parents Want survey. This longitudinal study examines the decision-making process parents undertake when choosing an independent school, including cultural influences, varying sources of information, and the relative importance of a myriad of factors that can guide school choice.

Establish your leadership identity

Partnering with the Queensland Education Leadership Institute (QELi), this workshop will explore theories of leadership, the democratisation of leadership and the impact of influence as a leader. Participants will examine their own leadership style including how middle leaders have the potential to act as change agents, and the importance of emotional intelligence and self-knowledge.

Teachers

Responding to the educational needs of students with disability

Adjustments are made for students with disability to enable them to access the curriculum. Learning support staff and teachers are invited to attend this EAP workshop to develop an understanding of the ongoing data collection, planning and program development, intervention, evaluation and review process involved.

Confidence in developing educational programs

Participants will be led through Non-State School Accreditation Board (NSSAB) requirements relating to educational programs for Special Assistance Schools (SAS). Take the opportunity to work individually with guidance on your educational programs, and network with other participants from SAS contexts about their educational programs.

ISQ can also help to tailor an appropriate individual program for new and existing directors, or deliver training to whole boards, to meet the professional learning requirements of professional and governance bodies.
