Dear teachers,

As you know, we at IES are continuing to hold your best interest at heart. We believe in the power of professional development to guarantee that you are kept up to date with the latest trends in education. We recognize the challenges faced by teachers in terms of the relevance and accessibility of quality continuous professional development. Our latest seminar on leadership offers an ideal opportunity for you to explore the impact of leadership in education, in a traditional context, specifically situational and adaptive leadership – how we think about it and how we speak about it.

Who is it for?

1. Leaders in education.
2. Teachers wishing to move up to positions of leadership in a school.
3. Persons wishing to learn new things related to leadership theories.

Dr Michael Cascianelli offers a refreshing perspective of situational and adaptive leadership, which gives us the chance to reflect on our own views and to consider alternative perspectives of approaching the topic of leadership. The webcast presentation offers the added advantage of allowing you access to the information from the comfort of your home. It can be viewed easily in your own time by following the link provided.


Our Presenter - Dr Michael Cascianelli


Dr Michael Cascianelli is a founding school principal and a researcher. Michael shaped the development of schools he led within the IB (PYP, MYP, and DP) and Cambridge curricula (iGCSEs, A-Levels). Michael worked in The Netherlands, Italy, the UK, and China. Michael holds a Master's and PhD from the University of Cambridge and believes in the power of lifelong learning to empower individuals to express themselves and make a change in this world through academic excellence, social-emotional learning and talent development.

Michael argues that disruption, sensitivity, and flexibility have become the new norm to address the individual and community needs that education can address in today's schooling, especially in the private international realm.

The webcast presentation provides the prospect to:
  • Explore the most commonly understood leadership models

  • Focus on situational and adaptive leadership

  • Reflect on dialogic discourse as a drive to relate to individuals

  • Look at practical steps for school improvement and implementation

  • Consider these practical strategies from the perspective of a school principal and a researcher


Learn and Lead:


As leaders at the forefront of education, we at IES are committed to providing a regular issue of professional development discussions, workshops, seminars, and conferences to engage you in the conversations that are trending in the education arena. By restructuring and adapting the format, we bring professional development to your doorstep by providing updated educational submissions that are current, accessible, and easy to follow. This provides you the opportunity to upskill and improve your knowledge in your own time and on your own terms. We will also be offering a steady stream of sessions throughout the academic year to this end so be sure to watch this space.
