Step Up TV | Step Up Network
We are a network for new and aspiring leaders in education. We cover all phases and leadership ‘levels’ but we focus more so on those starting at middle and then senior levels. We are a grassroots network ran by volunteers.
Our Why:
Leadership can sometimes be a lonely place. It can be scary, when you’re trained as a teacher and not as a leader, particularly in the early part of your career. Leadership can sometimes not be diverse. Leadership can negatively impact on your wellbeing. But it doesn’t have to be and shouldn’t be this way.
Our How:
We aid our community by our five ways of working: Networking, Connecting, Supporting, Sharing and Collaborating.
Our What:
The content we produce for our network surrounds five key themes: Leadership Journeys, Leadership Barriers, Leadership Development, Leadership Diversity and Leadership Wellbeing. When speakers for our events or writers for our blog volunteer for us, we ask that they speak to at least one of the five themes.
