Guide to Campus-level Leaders

The prime role of the Campus-level Leaders is to provide strong academic leadership. They are required to exercise leadership, demonstrate vision, develop departmental strategies and empower teachers to guarantee the highest possible standards of excellence. They are fully responsible for implementing, managing and evaluating the teaching and learning delivery process at their campus, ensuring that learner progress is well on track and teacher support is appropriate and sufficient.

In this context, Campus-level Leaders refer to:

• School Boards: They are the Principal or Vice Principal in charge of the ESL Department. They play a vital role in providing directions to teachers and they retain close ties to the Program Office. The School Board are responsible for evaluating teachers; however, this task can be shared with the Head of ESL Department or ESL Department Coordinator.
• Heads of ESL Department/ ESL Department Coordinators: They are generally regarded as a middle management tier, working under the supervision of the School Board and assisting them to ensure good professional practice, standards, and quality of teaching and learning of the subject.
