Meitheal Program
Meitheal is a participant-led leadership development programme that is responsive to the individual professional needs of school principals. It draws upon the skills and techniques associated with coaching. A skilled and recently trained facilitator works collaboratively with small groups (4 – 6 participants) using a developmental model to enhance leadership skills.
The Meitheal programme runs over a two-year period. The group typically meets each year for four sessions lasting approximately two hours. Each group will agree the date and time of these sessions.
Mutual trust and confidentiality form the basis of the programme.
The programme is underpinned by literature and research in the following areas:
- Coaching
- Professional learning communities and communities of practice
- Effective Communication
- Facilitation
Meitheal is an excellent opportunity for you to gain new experiences and insights pertinent to your role.
