Global Leadership Accelerator
As we strive to completely redefine education, there is a need to also rethink the scope and purpose of school leadership. Our global program prepares current and aspiring school leaders to make sense of the complexity of a fast changing context and to leverage the infinite possibilities of a redefined knowledge scenario to lead schools and other educational organizations into a bright future for learning.
The Course
The Global Leadership Accelerator comprises 5 weeks of interactive, hands-on exploration together with peers from all over the world who share a similar learning mindset. Every session is preceded by a series of prompts, challenges and interactions that engage participants asynchronously before the 90-minute videoconference meeting to be held in each for each of the phases.
All course contents, plus a library of links and resources are hosted on an online hub that remains accessible for participants after the course.
Masterclasses
In addition to the five learning modules, participants and their invited guests can take part in 3 exclusive masterclasses that are delivered by some of the world’s leading education experts. The September 2023 session includes masterclasses by:
Yong Zhao
Best selling author, speaker, innovator.
Judy Willis
Pioneer neuroscience educator, author and speaker.
Christian Plebst

How We Learn
The only way to be able to lead change is to experience it firsthand and develop critical insights into the building blocks of a new pedagogy. All of our learning interactions comprise online interactive sessions, discussions, use of advanced technology tools, online forums, embodying the same new learning modality that seeks to be developed in schools.
