Foundations of Leadership
A Professional Development Course for Aspiring or New School Leaders
“Equipping emerging school leaders with the confidence, clarity, and practical skills to thrive in progressive, inquiry-driven schools.”
Course Overview
The transition from classroom teaching to school leadership is one of the most significant and often underestimated steps in an educator’s career. Many aspiring leaders feel the call to lead but lack structured, relevant support; those placed in leadership roles are frequently expected to excel immediately, without guidance or mentorship. Foundations of Leadership supports in bridging this gap.
Developed by Kai CIRCLE and facilitated by Mrs. Manju Nair, this course equips aspiring and early-career leaders with the mindset, knowledge, and skills to lead with confidence in progressive, inquiry-driven school ecosystems. Grounded in research, aligned with global best practices, and contextualized for India, the course builds a strong foundation for effective, people-centred leadership.
Whether you are a team lead, coordinator, subject head, or an educator considering leadership, this programme provides the clarity, capabilities, and community you need to take your next step.
