Introduction
Context One of the main challenges facing Scottish education is to build on existing strength to create an excellent educational experience and successful outcomes for learners of all ages. Developing leadership is not just about honing the skills of those in the most senior positions, important though that undoubtedly is. It is also about releasing the energies of every member of staff and every learner and about giving each of them a sense that their contributions are valued. The development of such a culture is important in its own right and as response to the pressing requirement to build leadership capacity and to develop the leaders of tomorrow. It is essential that we build a leadership culture in Scottish education which encourages initiative, tackles difficult problems directly and is genuinely aspirational. Graham Donaldson Leadership for Learning: The challenges of leading in a time of change May 2007 Aims The Central Scotland Partnership Leadership and Development Programme 2010/11 aims to support the delivery of CfE by:
