Extraordinary Leaders for the Future

The educational landscape across the world is giving rise to new and escalating challenges. Nations need innovative leaders of extraordinary ability to lead schools in a dynamic and uncertain context.

This one-week executive programme is specially catered for school principals and education ministry officers. It focuses on the critical skills that leaders require to navigate schools through the pathways to enable optimal performance sustainably.

Launched in 2005, the LEPI programme has quickly established itself as one of NIE International's flagship programmes. The programme will provide a unique and enriching experience. It engages and support key personnel in education who will be the extraordinary leaders for the future. This programme exposes participants to the latest thinking in educational leadership.

Participants will be inspired to build their individual and collective capacity and learn how to become champions of innovation, so that they can take their schools upwards to higher levels of performance. Participants will work with an international peer group of leaders in education, engaged in effective conversation, learn new ways to ask questions, and benefit from peer-to-peer learning experiences.

The nature of teaching and learning has undergone substantial changes.  In this one-week edition of the LEPI, we continue to examine the role of a transformational school leader in providing the coherence to strategically and innovatively steer their school amidst an ever-uncertain environment post-pandemic and beyond.

   

Programme Architecture

Exciting new ideas and possibilities will emerge as participants reflect on the experiences we provide:

School Visits: We take participants to local schools that are achieving breakthroughs in innovation. Through the sharing of ideas with school leaders, participants can gain insights on how schools are approaching education in many creative ways, all with one goal in mind - preparing their students for the future.

Syndicate Group Discussion: International participants join together to develop new knowledge through in-depth conversation and gain deeper insights into the more critical issues of education and schooling.

Knowledge in the Classroom: Teaching sessions in the form of seminars, group presentations and experiential learning in providing the coherence to strategically and innovatively steer the school.

Programme Venue: National Institute of Education, Singapore

 

The LEPI Teaching Faculty

The LEPI teaching faculty offers an impressive blend of academic credentials and professional experience. Participants will work with both NIE professors who excel in research and writing on educational leadership, and professionals from schools who have had years of school leadership experiences. As a teaching team, they provide participants with a rich understanding of the theory-practice nexus in school leadership.

How Will Participants Benefit?

Participants will learn about the latest developments in school leadership. They will learn about leading schools in times of rapid and unpredictable change. They will gain first-hand experience of Singapore's schools. They will meet and work with peers from other systems and help to develop an international learning community. The experiences in the learning journey will encourage you to think deeply about your role as a leader.
