LITHE™ Seminar Series 2017



 

‘Leaders influencing Teachers’ High Expectations’ (LITHE™) is a seminar series designed for school leaders who are interested in accelerating student learning. It utilises a dual professional learning approach which initially trains school leaders who are then empowered to lead their own teachers as they adopt high expectation principles and practices. 

The four-half-day programme explores high expectation teaching theory and its potential to accelerate student outcomes. It provides powerful insights, compelling evidence and practical strategies for rethinking the nature of differentiation, class climate and student goal setting. This programme challenges many of the existing practices currently used in New Zealand schools. 

The University of Auckland Centre for Educational Leadership (UACEL) is pleased to announce that bookings for the first Auckland-based LITHE™ workshop series are now open. All sessions are hosted at the Kohia Centre (Epsom Ave) and include morning tea. Key dates are:

Session 1: June 13, 9.30 -12.30pm

Session 2: July 5, 9.30 -12.30pm

Session 3: August 2, 9.30 -12.30pm

Session 4: August 22, 9.30 -12.30pm
