AISSA’S SENIOR EDUCATIONAL CONSULTANT (SEC) MODEL IS INTRODUCED

In 2014, the Senior Educational consultant (SEC) team is established. Each school is assigned an SEC to support them in their school improvement journey. The approach is designed to enable the AISSA to be responsive to the context and needs of each individual school. The SEC becomes a ‘critical friend’ and ‘go to person’ to support the national school improvement agenda, quality teaching, and learning and establishing preconditions for change.

Initial feedback for the model shows a positive impact on member schools, particularly the one-on-one support for school leaders.

 

“It is great to have one person to coordinate the educational support for our school. Our SEC supported the school’s strategic plan with suggestions for ways the resources and knowledge of the AISSA could add value to the school.”
