Governance and School Planning

Leading with Vision: Governance Tools and Strategic Foundations

AAIE has been and continues to be a valuable resource for Heads of School and School Leaders for learning, connecting, and supporting leadership within the international school community. Governance continues to be the most discussed leadership topic across international school regions, as confirmed by ongoing AAIE surveys of school heads across five continents. Board trustees and head of school form the single most important team within a school. If the school head and board team are not in harmony and productive, then all other functions across a school are compromised.

Explore the Good Governance essentials and New School Project principles.

 

Good Governance Project

The A/OS Good Governance Project seeks to ensure best practices in board governance and to teach key leadership behaviors that ensure school heads can best “lead-together” with her/his board chair and trustees, supporting a high-performing school.

New School Project

We believe that great schools are framed by a few shared principles, and that principles only translate into practice if we make a common commitment to action. We trust that Principles that follow will serve us well as we navigate towards better schools than we have ever previously envisaged.
