Unlocking Educational Leadership Through Reflective Practice: Insights from Andrew Pryce and Shanti Clements

Professional Learnings NSWPPA Educational Leadership

Embark on a journey of self-discovery and reignite your passion for educational leadership with insights from principals Andrew Price and Shanti Clements. Their experiences, enriched by the NSWPPA scholarship, reveal the profound impact of Reflective Practice. Andrew describes it as a crucial 'soul work' that helps educators explore deeply-held values and hone leadership styles. Shanti emphasises its role in sparking enthusiasm and buffering against the professional burnout that can effect even the most dedicated school leaders. Together, they unfold a narrative that champions reflection as an indispensable tool for professional enhancement across the educational spectrum, not merely a lifeline during times of crisis.
Venture further into the nuanced landscape of Leadership Supervision, where the old-school ideas of hierarchy give way to the concept of 'supervision'—a wide-angled lens on leadership impact. Our guests unpack tools like indigenous yarning maps and narrative reflection, framing them as means to foster critical thinking and emotional acuity. As they share stories of their personal and professional transformations, you'll recognize how reflective supervision, especially amid unprecedented challenges like the pandemic, proves to be a trauma-informed approach that fortifies leadership capabilities. For those itching to harness the power of reflective practice for their own growth, the New South Wales PPA stands ready as a beacon of support and inspiration.
