Professional Learning in Leadership Development

Catholic Education Melbourne offers programs for leaders at every stage of the Leadership Continuum. The programs provide flexible learning and combine training and capacity building.

Professional Learning programs and initiatives are underpinned by the Leadership Standards Framework (see CEM's forthcoming revision of Leadership in Catholic Schools: Development Framework and Standards of Practice), which identifies the different strengths, needs and aspirations of leaders at key stages in their careers.
