Curriculum Leadership Development Programme Introduction

The workshop kicked off with an introduction to the Curriculum Leadership Development Programme, outlining the qualities and duties of a curriculum leader. A pre-workshop survey had been conducted to gather insights into the leadership capabilities that school heads desire in a curriculum leader and their perspectives on the significance of different panel tasks.

SWOT Analysis and SMART Subject Plans

Participants explored the use of SWOT analysis for implementing values education in their subject and discussed strategies to address identified challenges. The workshop also offered guidance on writing SMART subject plans.

Hands-On Activity: Crafting a SMART Subject Plan

A highlight of the event was the hands-on activity, during which participants worked together to write and apply the concepts they had learnt and receive immediate feedback from their peers.

Conclusion: Effective Curriculum Leadership

The event was closed with an emphasis on the importance of conducting data-driven SWOT analyses, writing SMART subject plans, and fostering strong communication and teamwork to successfully implement the subject plans. The participants left equipped with tools and knowledge to excel as curriculum leaders in English Language education, fostering lasting impact on students and schools.
