Middle Leaders in Munich
20 and 21 May 2027
Munich International School

Unlock your middle leadership potential and embark on a transformative learning journey at Munich International School. This dynamic 1.5-day event is your gateway to earning a Middle Leader Certificate in Creating Systems for Belonging.

Participants will need to bring their laptops to this training.

 Creating Systems for Belonging

Who truly belongs in our schools? Which groups feel a strong sense of belonging, and which do not? How do our school structures, curriculum, and daily practices shape inclusion and exclusion? Middle and Teacher leaders are uniquely positioned to explore these questions, minimise barriers, and create a sense of belonging for all students.

This course will examine different ways to explore and create belonging, drawing from theoretical perspectives, research methods, and practical initiatives. Strategies will be investigated for gathering and analysing data, considering how language and policies shape belonging, and developing approaches to move from individual experiences to systemic change. 

By the end of the course, through discussion, case studies, and collaborative problem-solving, participants will identify actionable steps to foster a more inclusive school environment.

Guiding Questions:

• Who experiences a strong sense of belonging in our schools, and who does not?
• How do we gather data on belonging in ways that reflect the diversity of our school community?
• How can data help us move from individual experiences to identifying systemic patterns of exclusion?
• How do curriculum, policies, and school practices reinforce social differences, and how can we challenge these structures?
