Springboard Trust’s Briefing to the Incoming Minister of Education

Springboard Trust has prepared a briefing for the Rt Hon Erica Stanford, incoming Minister of Education, sharing our insights about the sector and the need for strong, strategic educational leadership in Aotearoa.

Non public service entities, like us, are not required to prepare a Briefing to the Incoming Minister (BIM) but they can be a good way to provide focus for the new Minister and shape their priorities.  We’d love to hear your thoughts on the critical areas of focus for impactful educational leadership identified in the briefing:

1. Diverse schools, diverse needs
2. Reinforcing and supporting the principal as the key strategic leader
3. Developing leadership pathways and the profession
4. Acting on evidence
5. Reconnecting communities and engaging them in the learning
6. Enacting Te Tiriti o Waitangi
