Note: This post originally appeared on the website of Contemplative Learning Solutions, my school leadership consulting and professional development venture with Dr. Tom Stewart, professor of education at Austin Peay State University. Visit the CLS webpage, www.contemplativelearning.org and "Like" us on Facebook more about our work at helping schools, districts, businesses, and non-profit ventures deep their work through reflective practice.
Please join us on Wednesday, November 6 as we present our training session The Self-Aware School: Using the Enneagram System to Enhance Instructional Leadership to the attendees of the Mid-South Educational Research Association’s (MSERA) Annual Meeting. (MSERA is a regional division of the American Educational Research Association (AERA), which hosts what is arguably the pre-eminent annual educational research conference that attracts national and international presenters and advances important research in our field.) We are eager to present a synthesis of our past and most recent Enneagram work at MSERA, combining elements of our general introductory training sessions with school leader-specific connections using our original school leader Ennea-type profiles.
While researching, designing, and facilitating a new ongoing workshop series, we were recently reminded of the strong connection between the kind of self-awareness that an Enneagram study can provide and deep, transformational reflective practice. We sincerely believe that school leaders can use this training to become even more effective reflective practitioners, and highly-effective instructional leaders.
We hope you can join us on Pensacola Beach next week for further information. If not, though, contact Tom or Gary to see how your school/district/organization might benefit from similar work.
