HeadsUp Event 2

For Headteachers - Aspiring, current and former.
These are complex and challenging times for education.  Increasingly Headteachers are feeling, and are made to feel, vulnerable due to short-termism and high stakes accountability.  Highly skilled, highly trained, highly experienced professionals are leaving the system at a time of crisis in school leader recruitment and retention.
‘HeadsUp’ is a series of regional events that will shine a light on this significant issue.  Bringing together those who aspire to be school leaders, those that are and those that have been.  Through personal stories, bravely shared by School leaders and thought leaders from across the UK we will:
<UL>
<LI>
Celebrate the skills and experience of school leaders 
</LI>
<LI>
Look at the causes of the issue and discuss the solutions
</LI>
<LI>
Provide a supportive network for those who are being made to feel vulnerable as a consequence
</LI>
<LI>
Look at the options and provide advice and guidance for those that have left their positions as a consequence
</LI>
<LI>
Develop a collective statement for the Secretary of State and the Department for Education that outlines our view on the issues and the solutions.

Felicity King (@resetnotinset) - This roundtable is all about Restoring and Recharging education leaders. One of the hardest decisions is to put yourself first and move in a direction that aligns  to your values and meets your needs. In leadership we lift and empower others and can leave ourselves behind. We’re under pressure to deliver and to stay in the profession and that in itself is a strain. This session is for anyone who’s hit the wall or feels disconnected. Come along if you’re looking to feel reengaged in your career, might be looking for a new post or are considering a new direction but don’t quite know where to start. This is about hitting the RESET button, shedding the guilt and unlocking the satisfaction you need and deserve.
Cath Bufton-Green
Melissa Remus
Tom Wheelhouse (@mightifyuk) With a perspective from a different sector Tom will look at concepts of identity, self-awareness and change to find the right fit in a new career 'What Happens Next? how you can go from Institutionalised to Inspired'
All of the above will be delivered in a mix of presentations, workshops and roundtables to ensure that participants have the most opportunity to listen, collaborate, network and support each other as school leaders, past, present and future.
With support from Joanne Browne (@jointhetardis) and our sponsors 'Hays', 'TES', 'Supply Well'
Moving forward together, through the InspirEDucate network, we will at future events and projects collaborate, share and support each other on our leadership journeys.
