Step into your leadership journey with confidence

The NT Foundational Leadership Program is a modified school-year program designed to support and empower emerging leaders to grow, thrive and lead with impact in Northern Territory schools.

Starting Term 1, Friday 19 February 2027 and running to the beginning of Term 4 2027, it blends face-to-face workshops, online learning and personalised coaching, so what you learn is put straight to work in your own school. Coaching sessions use the MBIR framework to shape your objective across mindset, behaviour, results and impact.

Senior Teachers
Assistant Principals
