The Emerging Education Professionals Leadership Program (EEPLP) is designed to provide an intensive curriculum for current assistant principals, heads of subjects, senior teachers and emerging education professionals aspiring to become world class education professionals and leaders. Participants are selected based on an application process that requires recommendations from their principal. Participants may also apply on their own initiative and would have to go through simple evaluation process conducted online and phone interviews.

The transition from the classroom to administration is a difficult one. The EELP will help participants develop and sustain their leadership, management and instructional leadership skills. This is an important initiative to help establish a pool of competent and confident school leaders for the future.

The curriculum includes self-knowledge assessments, leadership development, instructional leadership, self-improvement, media relations and policy issues. Methods of instruction for the programme will include group field experiences, book studies, professional action planning, case studies, simulations, assessment instruments, and journals.

This is a programme designed to provide leadership skills and competencies to education professionals serving in leadership positions. Many times they are asked to lead other educators through a programme or process. Quite often they have not had the opportunity to develop and refine their leadership skills. It gives them that opportunity. This programme also provides foundation in leadership that can assist in the transition to administrative positions.

The curriculum is designed around high levels of participant involvement, self-analysis, research-based practices, current professional literature, and opportunities that apply learning to local districts.

Topics includes leadership skills and styles, critical communication, marketing strategies, dynamics of change, capacity building, effective use of technology, and organizational management.
