Speaking in advance of the free webinar, Dr 脫 Murch煤 said: 鈥淭he challenges facing schools over the past ten months has been immense and their response continues to be heroic. Our conversation will explore what have we learned and what should we consider doing when all this is behind us鈥.
鈥淎t 91制片厂 Thurles we promote leadership at undergraduate level and with our postgraduate programme we specifically provide our Master鈥檚 Degree Programme in Middle Leadership and Mentoring and bespoke PhD pathways in school leadership. We hope these and related matters will form the basis for reflection and discussion on what we mean by school leadership and indeed what we mean by the concept of school and learning. I am really looking forward to our expert panel鈥檚 views on these and related matters. It promises to be very good and I hope will put a pep in people鈥檚 step at this time鈥.
