# Lead Now

## A Coaching-based Leadership Program

## How We Create Leaders

**a School for tomorrow.** and **Portland Education** are committed to accelerate the development of future leaders in our schools, where staff are continually learning and deepening their understanding of their inquiry and practice and how to successfully learn, live, lead and work in this new world environment.

As teachers do not learn all that they need to learn in their pre-service education our Lead Now Program affirms the uniqueness of the individual and provides the opportunity for emerging and established middle leaders to further build towards their full potential, elicit greatness and enhance their understanding of inquiry and contemporary teaching and leadership practices, while actively contributing to the ongoing high-performance of the community they serve. Like the members of other professions, teachers and school leaders need to be continuous learners and unlearners who see their own learning as being fundamental to membership of the profession and leading the future of schooling, through ambitious yet manageable, impactful, and sustainable ways.
