    CPD-SUMMER-COURSES

    At Mná Fest in January 2022, we discussed the gendered barriers to leadership in education.

    50% of female teachers would consider leadership in education. (Rahoo Survey. March 2021)

    Yet, according to DES statistics, only 1 in 15 female teachers are principals.

    These barriers exist in Ireland and worldwide. You can learn about these barriers by attending our free online workshop “Aspiring Female Leaders in Education”. 

    At Mná Fest, we encouraged attendees to take a career challenge to pursue leadership or growth in their career. 

    This blog post shares 10 steps with you!

    Check out our free "Aspiring Female Leadership" workshop!

    1. 5 Year Vision

    Imagine yourself 5 years from now. What does your life look like? Reverse-engineer a 5-year plan to get you there! Bullet point some milestones for each year!

    2. Mock Application Forms

    Seek application forms for roles you may want to apply for. Do a mock application and ask a trusted colleague, friend or professional to review it for you.

    3. Start Reading

    Read! Whichever aspect of career or life you wish to make progress in, invest time in reading about it.

    Books, blogs, trade magazines, government regulation/advice are all relevant for building your expertise.

    5. Assess Your Tribe
