1 Recognize your learning needs and goals

The first step to engaging in learning is to identify your own learning needs and goals. What are the gaps or areas of improvement that you want to address? What are the new skills or knowledge that you want to acquire or enhance? What are the outcomes or benefits that you expect from your learning? By answering these questions, you can clarify your learning purpose and direction, and choose the most relevant and meaningful learning opportunities for yourself.

I think the key here is to engage middle leaders in which pathway they want to follow. Are they happy in middle leadership and therefore need upskilling here? Or is it senior leadership that attracts them? Eitherway, understanding their personal situations will be the key.

2 Seek feedback and mentoring

One of the most powerful sources of learning is feedback and mentoring from others. Feedback can help you assess your strengths and weaknesses, identify areas of improvement, and celebrate your achievements. Mentoring can provide you with guidance, support, inspiration, and role models for your leadership development. You can seek feedback and mentoring from a variety of sources, such as your peers, supervisors, colleagues, clients, or external experts. You can also offer feedback and mentoring to others, as a way of sharing your experience and learning from different perspectives.

Coaching is a vital tool to engage mid-career leaders. Whilst it is often believed that teachers and leaders plateau around year 5, this is not the case as long as they are given guidance and support. Mentoring and coaching, therefore, will provide this support and drive change.

3 Engage in collaborative learning

Another effective way to engage in learning is to participate in collaborative learning activities with other leaders or professionals. Collaborative learning can foster a culture of learning, where you can exchange ideas, insights, experiences, and resources, and learn from each other's successes and challenges. Collaborative learning can take many forms, such as peer coaching, action learning, communities of practice, or professional networks. You can also initiate or join collaborative learning projects, such as research, innovation, or improvement initiatives, that address common issues or goals.

4 Experiment and reflect

A third effective way to engage in learning is to experiment and reflect on your own practice. Experimentation can help you test new ideas, approaches, or strategies, and learn from trial and error. Reflection can help you examine your assumptions, beliefs, values, and actions, and learn from your experiences. You can experiment and reflect in various ways, such as trying out new methods or tools, observing or shadowing other leaders, keeping a learning journal, or conducting a self-audit or evaluation.

As a mid-career leader it would be assumed that you have the experience to experiment more. There would be a clear knowledge base to work on, giving more confidence. One thing that I have found useful is providing mid career leaders with opportunities to lead whole school initiatives, which drives experimentation.

5 Pursue formal and informal learning opportunities

A fourth effective way to engage in learning is to pursue formal and informal learning opportunities that suit your needs and interests. Formal learning opportunities are structured and organized programs or courses that offer certification or accreditation. Informal learning opportunities are unstructured and spontaneous activities that offer personal or professional development. You can choose from a wide range of formal and informal learning opportunities, such as workshops, seminars, webinars, podcasts, books, articles, blogs, or online courses. You can also create your own learning opportunities, by setting your own learning objectives, plans, and activities.

6 Apply and share your learning

A fifth effective way to engage in learning is to apply and share your learning with others. Applying your learning can help you consolidate and demonstrate your new skills or knowledge, and enhance your performance and impact as a leader. Sharing your learning can help you communicate and disseminate your learning outcomes, and contribute to the learning of others and the improvement of your organization. You can apply and share your learning in various ways, such as implementing a change or innovation, creating a portfolio or showcase, presenting or publishing your work, or mentoring or coaching others.
