Scaffolded Apprenticeship Model (SAM)

SAM employs an apprenticeship model in which cohorts of participants from selected schools are partially released from their responsibilities in order to learn and practice the skills required for effective leadership. The programs goal is to strengthen current leadership capacity within each participating school, as well as to develop a viable succession pipeline for staff.

The SAM program aims to put into play within each school a critical mass of strategically placed change agents who:

• work independently and in teams;
• share a common language and goals;
share a common approach; and
• think from a systematic perspective to address problems and their underlying causes.
