01 About the Program

We know effective school leadership is key to improving educational outcomes. Teach To Lead (TTL) is a selective one-year leadership development program that seeks to build the capabilities of mid-career teachers and accelerate their abilities as leaders to improve school and student outcomes.

By building fundamental skills, such as strategic planning, coaching others, leading challenging conversations and building effective teams, Teach To Lead aims to influence and effect real change in schools that need the strongest leaders.

Since its inception in 2015, TTL has been developing a pipeline of exceptional education leaders in the schools facing the greatest challenges. We are currently taking a year off while we review how we can grow our impact for our young people and continue to meet the needs of aspirant school leaders in Australia.
