| What Works is regarded as a 'sister project' of Dare to Lead and was launched at the same time as the Dare to Lead: Taking it on project (June 2003). Dare to Lead has continued to promote What Works
as a valuable resource for school leadership teams through the Action
Areas, and the promotional material provided to the project from What
Works is included in the new member packs of information. In addition,
there have been opportunities for joint presentations to be conducted
in response to school leaders' needs. The Core Issues papers developed by What Works are a valuable resource for Dare to Lead leadership sessions. Dare to Lead
State Coordinators have developed workshop materials around these
documents and have conducted workshop sessions to school leaders in
Action Areas as part of their leadership professional development
programs.
Dare to Lead
targets the school leader, develops the understanding and passion for
action at the school level, and also maintains the collegiate support
network and the leadership development as their interest and needs are
explored. What Works is able to play a key role in engaging staff and
school teams once the school leader's attention is engaged. The same
focus underpins both projects, but the work done in synergy ensures
that the efforts of the school leaders and their staff are focused,
appropriate and sustainable.
