Leadership in Education

Stay connected, informed and inspired with our leadership resource page. This dedicated page provides valuable information tailored to educational leadership. 

Our curated research section offers studies and reports to support evidence-based decision making. There are also links to an array of resources of interest, including policy updates, innovative strategies and blogs by fellow leaders.

For ongoing professional growth we have highlighted some of our self-directed leadership learning resources along with ongoing leadership webinars that might be of interest. 

Leadership+

Leadership+ is a series of one-off bespoke webinars which complement the work of Education Scotland’s leadership programmes, as well as reflecting big-ticket themes of interest to leaders. Webinars are research-led, delivered by experts in their fields and explore topics from a leadership perspective.

See our Leadership+ section below for new, summary videos from some of our previous speakers.

You can sign up to future Leadership+ webinars events and access more recordings from previous webinars via our dedicated Leadership+ page.
