Overview
The ethos, culture, and climate of a school lie at the very heart of its success and have a dramatic impact on the future of its students. This exciting new book shows how through values-based, inclusive, and aspirational leadership, teachers and school leaders can support students in becoming well rounded, globally minded change-makers of the future. Based on the principle that every young person can be a leader, it offers step-by step guidance to support the development of leadership skills and shows how leadership opportunities can be made accessible to all learners. Arguing that leadership needs to be actively and inclusively taught, the book explores how young leadership models, reward systems, risk-taking, well-being strategies, and growth-mindset implementation can transform student motivation levels by creating aspiration, fulfilling dreams, and building character. Packed with practical suggestions and resources, the chapters cover: diversity and leadership establishing a strong student leadership team how to meaningfully mark significant global days making the most of tutor time student well-being fear of failure and how to overcome this building links with the local and wider community. Written by a Director of Ethos at an outstanding Trust, this is essential reading for all teachers and school leaders wanting their students to become empathetic, ambitious, values-driven, and happy young people.
