Leadership Preparation Program – Part One

For aspirant leaders, transitional Leaders and those on their way up

Overview:

The WAPPA Leadership Preparation Program is the first of its kind for Western Australian public-school leaders. Based on the qualified best-practise Principal Qualification Program from the Ontario Principals’ Council, the WAPPA LPP represents many years of experience in providing support to Western Australian principals and deputies in their first years as formal school leaders in our public system. It builds on the strengths of the OCPs Principal Qualification Program but adds the distinct uniqueness of the WA public education system.

The WAPPA LPP also offers the ability to earn Master’s credits in the process of completing the part two certification.

The program consistently and clearly refers to the AITSL Professional Standard for Principals and addresses the AITSL Leadership Profiles in detail. In addition to this it also examines the moral purpose of highly effective principals and the ability to build and maintain productive relationships.

The program is designed to provide a comprehensive set of modules that thoroughly prepare our future leaders to ensure that they have the best possible start to a long and successful leadership career in education.
