SCHOOL LEADERSHIP ACADEMY-KERALA (SLA-K)
It is under the caring wings of State Institute of Educational Management and Training – Kerala (SIEMAT-Kerala) School Leadership Academy is flourishing in Kerala. The SLA,Kerala, popularly known as SLA-K was formally launched in the State in February 2019, though preparatory works for its institution began a few months earlier. A team comprising the Director, Nodal Officer and Junior Consultant formulates and implements the programmes and activities of SLA-K. A 34 member core group is also there to guide its activities.
Kerala being the sunrise land of social & educational reforms and revolutions, the SLA concept was embraced by the State with great enthusiasm and fervour. A high level vision setting workshop was held way back in 23rd December, 2019 to formulate the state-specific objectives, mission and goals of the Academy. It was in the foregoing workshop that the SLA-K concept was assimilated and delineated as a powerful subsystem, or rather an Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), of SIEMAT-Kerala to pursue the educational vision and goals set forth by the Nation and the State.
In Kerala context school leadership is not a limiting term to denote headteachers or heads of educational institutions alone. Members of the School Management Committees (SMCs), PTAs, MPTAs, Alumni, pro-active teachers, retired teachers who continue to show interest in education sector, young teachers, teacher students, student leaders, elected representatives of local self-governments (LSGs have a major role and say in school affairs in the State), peoples representatives in the state legislative assembly and the parliament (MPs and MLAs of Kerala spend major chunk of their MP/MLA funds on schools and other educational institutions) etc. are also part and parcel of the concept, school leadership. Naturally, the activities and programmes of School Leadership Academy-Kerala have that broad vision and approach. Apart from the focus on distributive leadership as mentioned above, SLA-K has adopted a futuristic approach for the formulation and implementation of its programmes. Earnest effort is taken to attract young teachers and teacher students to the Academy and its activities.
