Strengthening school leaders as innovators in education

Education leaders are expected to guide transformation, motivate their teams, and deliver meaningful outcomes amid changing demands. Yet their own professional development is too often treated as formal training rather than a continuous journey embedded in everyday leadership practice.

This session explores how purposeful, collaborative learning can help leaders lead with purpose, innovate with confidence and inspire lasting change.

Hear from SEAMEO INNOTECH about the Innovators SEAL programme, an online and blended leadership experience grounded in Southeast Asia’s school leadership competency framework. Through learning coaches, cross-country collaboration, and an innovation sprint, participants move from sharing challenges and practices to co-designing projects they own and implement. Discover why innovation must be understood contextually to create supportive learning spaces that inspire teachers, strengthen resilience, and turn professional learning into purposeful action.
