Leadership Community of Practice

Rationale: A consultancy protocol within a community of practice (CoP) model provides a structured way for school leaders to seek input from peer leaders on complex problems while fostering collective learning.

Learning Intention: Leaders will effectively engage in a consultancy protocol to establish a peer-focused community of practice, in order to collaboratively analyze challenges, generate solutions, and strengthen cross-school leadership capacity.

Success Criteria: Leaders will know they are successful when they…

• articulate the purpose and structure of a consultancy protocol

• facilitate or participate in a structured consultancy session, offering and receiving constructive feedback

• apply insights from peers to refine leadership practices in their schools

• establish or strengthen ongoing networks across schools to sustain a community of practice
