A Little About Me

As Ireland's top interview mentor, I've been streamlining the process of preparing for interviews for years now - ensuring that teachers have access to the most important information they need. 

Making processes EASY is my passion and knowing that teachers find interviews difficult (and how busy they already are) - made me simplify what they need to know. 

It's the same with embedding LAOS. 

As schools are stretched to the max - I'm passionate about sharing information in simple, actionable ways - ensuring maximum productivity. 

THE KEY TO LAOS - IS TO MAKE UNDERSTANDING THE LEADERSHIP QUALITIES AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND.

The key to helping YOU - is to make LAOS easy to embed - using a distributed leadership approach!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

These are some questions Principals ask about the course.

The programme is designed to make SSE, DEIS, and LAOS policy demands more manageable by enhancing leadership capacity through structured reflection tools, coaching insights, and exclusive teacher licenses.

The programme is delivered as a yearly licence for schools. It includes an online course, helpful reflection tools and accountability sessions. These ensure that teachers, SSE and DEIS Planning Co-ordinators can access simple straightforward tips to effectively embed LAOS in your school.

The programme is designed to help schools further embed LAOS over the course of 1 year. SSE/DEIS/Leadership teams - together with their teachers should aim to check in together at least once per half term. This will ensure consistent progress. 

Yes, all licensees to the course will be invited to a community of practice whereby they share what's working, what's not and learn from other school leaders. This will happen once per term. 

There is a 1 year licence to access course content. You can sign up at any time. Be sure to join the termly accountability and community of practice sessions.

The programme is designed to empower school leaders to distribute leadership effectively by training and guiding staff members on the use of reflection tools and strategies. This ensures collective ownership and alignment with the school's goals.

The time commitment can vary based on the programme structure chosen. The programme outlines a manageable plan that integrates seamlessly with existing responsibilities.

School leaders can expect improved clarity in SSE, DEIS, and LAOS processes, a stronger capacity for reflective leadership, enhanced distribution of leadership tasks, and greater overall effectiveness in meeting policy demands.

Participants receive a certificate of completion, which can be included in their professional development portfolio.  It is planned to register the course for accredited CPD points later this year.

WHAT LEADERS ARE SAYING

Orla Dempsey Mentoring

“This course helps school leaders to take the reins on LAOS. It's personal, simple and easy to follow. I liked that it helps leaders to interpret the document in their own way. It will certainly help leaders build confidence and awareness into what LAOS is all about!”

Retired School Principal

Orla Dempsey Mentoring

“I love to have lists to assess how I'm developing professionally. Along with the LAOS document beside me, this course allows me to do that. For self reflection and personal development - this is a really, really useful course. ”

Post Primary Teacher

Orla Dempsey Mentoring

“The examples were really good. I picked up ideas that I'll definitely implement in my classroom - very doable, real-life suggestions. I know I can go back over the information in the course again and again.”
