Leadership & Management
International Leadership and Management Programmes (ILMP) are designed for leaders focused on improving learning. Based on evidence, collective experience and international research, these programmes address fundamental questions for leaders to have the greatest impact on student learning.
Middle Leaders
The Middle Leaders programme stimulates, nurtures and enriches the knowledge, skills and understanding essential for effective team, subject or curriculum leadership. The programme equips those already with middle leader responsibilities, with the skills to navigate between policy and practice focused on managing change to enable improvement across international education.
Agents for Change
The Middle Leaders programme is specifically designed for those already in, or new to, a middle-level leadership role. The programme explores different theoretical approaches from the perspective of professional practice. It centres on the application of learning to the middle-leader role, putting theory into practice and reflecting on impact. It explores how those in middle leadership roles can ensure they are aligned with school values and shared visions of learning alongside how they can also facilitate and empower the teams that they lead.

Senior Leaders
Designed for those already in a leadership role, the Senior Leaders programme translates evidence based theory into actionable leadership skills and tools. Stimulating and provoking, the programme focuses on five key areas through which to explore who you are as a leader and how well aligned your leadership purpose is with the strategic purpose of the school.
Relevant for Impactful Leadership
“The ILMP really reflected the way forward for learning, which is to put the learning into practice immediately. There was not one thing that was said throughout the ILMP that was not asking for reflection and for practical application. Everything that we learned had value and application within the school environment.“ Beatrice Caston, International School of Dusseldorf, Germany
“This course really helped me to reflect on my strengths and areas for development as a leader within my school.”
Rayna Birch, BEPS International School, Belgium
