Instructional Leadership (Webinar)
How School Leaders Can Lead Learning in Today’s Classrooms
At Leading Learning Ltd, our mission is simple but powerful: to equip schools and school leaders with the capacity to deliver quality education and lead sustainable transformation. As part of this commitment, we are thrilled to announce the second edition of our Purpose-Driven School Leadership Series, a platform for timely, thought-provoking conversations on the future of leadership in education.
Our next webinar, themed “Instructional Leadership: How School Leaders Can Lead Learning,” will take place on Wednesday, June 11th, 2025, at 6:00 PM WAT. This live online event will bring together a diverse audience of school owners, leaders, teachers, and aspiring educators who are passionate about raising learning outcomes and reshaping the future of education in Africa.
Instructional leadership is the heartbeat of school transformation. It’s how visionary school leaders shape culture, improve teaching, and ensure learning remains the central focus every single day.
Why This Conversation Matters
Instructional leadership is no longer optional, it is foundational. As schools navigate complex challenges and strive for excellence, the ability of school leaders to directly influence teaching and learning is a game-changer. This webinar explores how heads of schools and leadership teams can become active agents of learning, not just managers of systems.
