Educational Leadership Centre

The Newcastle University Educational Leadership Centre (NUELC) - previously known as North Leadership Centre - has been delivering professional development, leadership and management programmes for teachers and school leaders for over 20 years. 

We work in partnership with educational organisations and groups across the world to provide exceptional professional and leadership development opportunities for individuals and teams in all sectors of education.

Our work is underpinned by a robust evidence base of what makes highly effective leadership and high-quality teaching and learning across a range of educational organisations and countries.

Educational leadership is constantly evolving, and well-prepared leaders can have a significant positive impact on learners’ and teams’ outcomes. Our programmes lead to improved leadership capacity and more effective schools, academies and institutions. They help leaders to:

• Shape their vision, strategy and implementation
• Develop people, teams and their priorities
• Improve teaching and learning

We are committed to improving outcomes educationally, economically and socially and we track our impact, using what we learn to improve our offer.

We are continuously developing our offers in collaboration with both internal and external clients and partners, including schools, colleges, universities and wider educational establishments.  

Examples of programmes and courses that are on offer or in development include the following themes: 

• Cultural leadership 
• Literacy leadership 
• Numeracy leadership 
• Modern Language Leadership 
• Leading transformational change 
• Leading teams 
• Leading performance 
• Your own leadership style 
• Coaching and Mentoring 
• Future of Educational Leadership
