A new suite of leadership programs

Welcome to our reinvigorated suite of

leadership programs for 2019.

Leadership development is at the forefront of Catholic Education Western

Australia (CEWA). It is our leaders who give witness to our Catholic values

and inspire our Christ-centred communities to engage in active learning.

Our leadership programs aim to support the work of all Catholic school

and office leaders. They respond to the Bishops’ Mandate Letter and are

informed by the CEWA Leadership Charter (2016), the Catholic Education

Commission of Western Australia (CECWA) Strategic Directions 2019-2021

and the research of the Australian Institute of Teaching and School

Leadership (AITSL).

The Bishops’ Mandate Letter reminds us that “the contributions of our

Catholic School leaders to the life and mission of the Church are examples

of God’s presence in our schools” (Mandate 43). Our Leadership Charter

inspires us to develop leaders at all levels to contribute to the mission of

Jesus. The CECWA’s Strategic Directions 2019-2021 guide us to form inspiring

Christ-centred leaders. AITSL provides extensive research on what effective leadership looks like in contemporary Australian schools.

Whether you are an emerging leader taking your first steps into leadership, a long-serving middle leader, an office member providing system support or an experienced principal reflecting on your faith community, the leadership programs offered in 2019 have been designed to support you on your leadership journey.

I acknowledge our leaders, who continue to demonstrate their

commitment to Catholic education and who play an essential role in

supporting, forming and mentoring the current and next generation

of Catholic leaders.

Leadership programs summary

The purpose of this booklet is

to provide an overview of

leadership programs for 2019

and highlight leadership

resources and opportunities.

The Accreditation for Leadership and

Accreditation for Leadership of a Catholic School

Community programs are the cornerstone of

leadership professional learning and remain

pre-requisites for senior leadership roles such as

Assistant Principal, Deputy Principal and Principal.

CEWA’s Career Stage Leadership programs have been designed to support educators

and leaders in the development of Christ-centred communities and the creation of

engaged learning environments. These programs are central to the preparation of

educators and leaders, and focus on the holistic development of children capable

of inspiring all to actively lead the Gospel. They encompass all formal stages of

development from emerging leaders entering the leadership space to experienced

principals who have led a faith community for many years.

Several career stage leadership programs are

supported by leadership networks that aim

to meet regularly as a community to share

knowledge, learn from each other and grow as

a community of leaders.

An important aspect of leadership is the

identification and development of future leaders. The CEWA Talent Identification program has been developed for the purpose of identifying

high potential leaders employed in formal or

informal leadership roles.

The development of talent is also a focus of the

Early Career Teachers Program. This program will

focus on issues affecting early career teachers with special emphasis on peer sharing, building

resilience and providing support as they progress

to full registration with the Teachers Registration

Board of Western Australia (TRBWA).

Page 5: Leadership Programs - CEWA · leadership programs for 2019. Leadership development is at the forefront of Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA). It is our leaders who give witness

Leadership Programs | 3

Early career teachers are supported by in-school mentors who have access to the

Effective Mentoring Program, which aims to support mentors to establish effective professional relationships to support the mentee to grow in the understanding of

their profession at a school level.

Previous participants in leadership programs may benefit from participating in alumni events which provide a refresher on key leadership topics such as the importance

of spiritual and physical health and wellbeing, effectively leading a faith community, challenging conversations, speaking with impact and effective coaching.

In addition to these formal leadership programs, the booklet details opportunities for

CEWA educators to develop their leadership skills via external agencies such as The

University of Notre Dame Australia (UNDA), The Catholic Institute of Western Australia

and The Australian Institute of Management (AIM).

Leadership programs background

CEWA has a rich history of leadership development which is underpinned by Church

documents, system priorities and professional research. Building on the wisdom and

knowledge of these works, the thinking and resources that inform the 2019 leadership

programs include:

§ The Bishops’ Mandate Letter

§ The Catholic Education Commission of Western Australia (CECWA) Strategic

Directions 2019-2021

§ The CEWA Leadership Charter (2016)

§ The Australian Professional Standards for Principals and the Leadership Profiles (2014)

§ The Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (2011)

§ The Duties and Responsibilities of the Principal (CEWA based)

§ The Quality Catholic Schooling Self-Review Tool

§ The CEWA Code of Ethical Conduct

These resources set out the necessary knowledge, skills and dispositions to effectively lead Catholic communities. From these leadership resources, six leadership domains

have been identified and form the basis of the CEWA leadership programs:

1. Catholic Identity

2. Developing self and others

3. Leading teaching and learning

4. Leading improvement, innovation and change

5. Engaging and working with the community

6. Leading the management of the school

These six leadership domains provide a pragmatic and holistic framework for

developing contemporary Catholic school leaders. They ensure each program has a

common focus and assist leadership program partners – universities, institutes, course

designers, facilitators, and administrators – to build content and experiences relevant

to the CEWA context.

Additional leadership opportunities

In addition to the leadership programs described

in this booklet, leadership skills can be developed

through other Directorates at CEWA and with CEWA’s

recommended partners in professional learning.

The University of Notre Dame (UNDA) offers several post-graduate courses in school leadership including the Master of Religious Education, Master

of Education (Religious Education), Master of Education (Leadership and

Management) and the Graduate Certificate in Catholic Leadership. More information on the UNDA program offerings can be found here: http://bit.ly/NotreDamePrograms

The Catholic Institute of Western Australia is a unique Catholic tertiary

educational body, created by and accountable to the Conference of

Catholic Bishops of Western Australia. The purpose of the Institute is to

provide professional and theological education; and spiritual and faith

formation for current and future educators and leaders in Catholic schools.

The Galilee 1.0 Stepping Stones is the first in a series of programs to be offered. The program uses the metaphor of ‘stepping stones’ as a way for participants to explore their own spiritual and faith journeys and to reflect on the influence of the Church’s journey in developing Christian spiritual and faith traditions.

The Stepping Stones program can contribute to the equivalent of one

tertiary unit at The University of Notre Dame Australia within the Masters

courses in Religious Education or as an elective unit in Leadership and

Management. The program also contributes towards Accreditation

for Leadership as well as satisfying hours for accreditation renewal.

An information booklet about the program and application form can

be downloaded from http://bit.ly/CatholicInstitute

CEWA has a Corporate Membership with The Australian Institute of

Management (AIM). This provides all CEWA staff with significant discounts on AIM’s extensive suite of leadership professional learning in areas such
