The application round for cohort 3, open to the Leadership Network, to start in June 2009, has now closed.
The International Leadership Learning Programme (ILLP) is a new NCSL programme which offers a unique opportunity to reflect upon leadership in an international context and investigate a particular leadership theme pertinent to school and system wide development. It builds on and replaces the International Placement for Headteachers (IPH) programme. The programme has been designed by NCSL and is delivered by the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust (SSAT) and the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL).
ILLP is open to headteachers and other senior school leaders who will learn together and learn on behalf of others. As well as offering an excellent professional development opportunity, it is also designed to have a positive impact on school and system development. It is aimed at those who wish to develop leadership capacity, implementing changes to benefit their school/organisation and share their learning to benefit others.
You may apply for the programme individually or as part of an existing group, identifying your areas of interest. We will then research and identify an appropriate destination where you can explore powerful leadership practice, local challenges and solutions in your chosen enquiry focus. You will return to influence your school/organisation and locality/region and, through effective dissemination, share your learning with the wider education system.
If you would like to register your interest in the programme or have any queries, please contact our provider, the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust (SSAT), at [email protected].
