OPAL

For many years OLEVI has been at the forefront of creating high performing leaders who have enabled profound change across the educational system.

On December 5th, 2022, a group of OLEVI Founding Fellows met to witness the launch of OPAL (OLEVI Professional Alliance for Learning), our purpose to ‘generate significant impact on the quality of school leadership.’

We now invite you to join OPAL and engage in the debate of what is needed to create our future outstanding leaders, those leaders who go above and beyond in creating outstanding learning communities. In an ever-changing educational landscape, we sometimes forget the role we play in finding and then growing those transformative thinkers, who with the right level of support will become our ‘humbitious’ leaders of the future.

The question, ‘What does it mean to be a humbitious leader?’ and how as a leader we practice humility and ambition, will be explored.

To develop those transformative leaders, OPAL recognises the importance of ‘creating the headspace’ to learn more effectively, which involves us considering how we support our own well-being and that of the people around us.

By becoming a part of OPAL you will join a community of like-minded people who will reflect on practice, challenge thinking, and build deep connections to enable profound change in the future leadership of our schools/ colleges.
