Leadership
Because leaders drive sustainable change
Effective leaders listen, guide, and motivate others to use change as a positive force to explore innovation and inspire action. They are the heart of inventive, meaningful, and sustainable change in education.
Effective education leaders know how to manage change effectively whether teaching in the classroom, leading a school, an early childhood program or an NGO, or helping to improve large scale education systems. They listen, guide, and motivate others using change as a tool to leverage innovative thinking and to inspire lasting positive reforms. Impactful leaders work with integrity and are accountable to those they serve. Most importantly, they use their skills to support equity, inclusivity, and fairness to ensure the well-being of all.

Education Diplomacy
CE International’s unique Education Diplomacy approach will help you to navigate change sensitively and effectively. Using the tools of communication, consensus building, negotiation, collective action, and other skills of diplomacy, Education Diplomats promote collaboration on a wide range of education issues and challenges.
Furthermore, Education Diplomacy can also support transformation in early childhood development where education, health, and child protection sectors must work together to create strong ECD services and systems.
Leadership Focus Areas
Through our Leadership Practice Area, we focus on a range of leadership and management techniques and approaches that provide research- and evidence-based interventions and solutions. Our courses and trainings have been proven to create impact.
Finding solutions to the most significant challenges in the education and health sectors requires bold and creative thinking. We help others innovate within their early childhood program, school, NGO, or Ministry by identifying, developing, sharing, and scaling up new and promising solutions.
Inclusion means ensuring all individuals are engaged, motivated, and valued. Education leaders must ensure that all children receive an equitable and fair start in life. Inclusive leadership provides the foundation for ensuring equity in schools and all child-serving settings.
Systems, or the policies, people, and processes used to implement learning experiences, are the platform through which education is delivered. For education to be delivered optimally, the education system must be continually evaluated and improved. Therefore, strengthening education systems significantly benefits leaders as they cope with the increasing complexity of education design and delivery while guiding transformative change.
