Talent Management Framework
Talent Management Framework
The Bastow Talent Management Framework (TMF) is a dynamic approach to identify, develop and support individuals with high potential for leadership. The video below explains more about the approach below.
Bastow Intro.mp4Research indicates that student outcomes cannot be improved without highly capable leaders: there's a direct link between school leadership and standards of student attainment. There is not a single case of a school improving its student achievement record in the absence of talented leadership.
The Talent Management Framework (TMF) is powerful and effective. It was co-designed with teachers, principals and regional managers to support:
the system - to identify, develop and support high potential individuals to create an ongoing supply of school leaders to deliver quality outcomes for all children
principals and their leadership team - to build school capacity, consider diversity when succession planning and create opportunities for a distributed leadership approach
individuals - by recognising their leadership potential, inspiring them to build their capability and commitment to an career in education.
