This course is designed to help school leaders, teachers, and education stakeholders foster a collaborative environment that drives improved school performance and student outcomes. Rooted in the belief that collective efforts yield greater impact than individual ones, the module explores the concept, models, and practical strategies of collaboration in educational settings.
Participants will gain an understanding of:
• The meaning and importance of collaboration.
• Types of collaboration (synchronous and asynchronous).
• Four models of collaborative educational development—Separate, Point Person & Helper, Connected Parallel, and Co-Creation—highlighting the trade-offs between integration and investment.
• Key success factors and challenges in collaborative practices, such as misaligned expectations, resistance, conflict, and power dynamics.
• Practical strategies to build mutual goals, resolve conflicts, and adopt a leadership approach that empowers and includes all stakeholders (staff, SMC, community members).
Participants learn how to shift from authority-driven models to participatory leadership, fostering ownership and shared accountability for school improvement.

As per the SLDP Training Roadmap, two Peer Learning Communities (PLCs) and one Live Action Project (LAP) are planned as part of the post-training support for school heads after the completion of each Learning Cycle.
The PLCs serve as a platform for refresher sessions on the 12 key leadership competencies covered during Learning Cycles 01 and 02 of the SLDP trainings. These sessions provide an opportunity for school heads to revisit, reflect on, and strengthen their understanding and application of the competencies in their school context.
In parallel, school heads will be engaged in the planning and execution of the Live Action Project (LAP). LAP is a practical initiative that enables them to apply the learned competencies in real-time, within their respective school environments.
PLCs and LAP are closely integrated, complementing each other to ensure sustained professional growth and meaningful on-the-ground transformation.
