Springboard

Springboard Trust brings together leaders from the education, private, public and philanthropic sectors to enrich strategic leadership and create impactful change in schools. We do this because we know that high-quality strategic leadership transforms schools and helps level the playing field for all children | tamariki mokopuna in Aotearoa.

Since 2007 we’ve worked with more than 800 school leaders and over 500 volunteers, impacting in excess of 240,000 students as we progress our vision. We provide structured, multi-year learning for principals | tumuaki and school leaders. Through our work, we build a high-trust environment where common challenges faced by tumuaki in different contexts can be unpacked, and potential solutions identified through the lens of strategic leadership and strategy development.

New Zealand teachers and principals typically struggle to gain access to professional learning and development or unique insights from outside their own sector. Springboard Trust aims to break down these barriers and facilitate a unique platform that encourages cross-sector thinking, learning and collaboration.

Measuring a school’s progress, performance and impact remains a challenging task for many school leaders. Deciding what to measure and how, and the best way of reporting on it all depends on your unique school, community, team and of course your strategic plan. Springboard Trust’s Strategic Measurement for Schools programme is designed to tackle these challenges head-on!
