LEAD Curriculum Development | Training of Trainers

LEAD International is currently embarking on a two-year training curriculum development process which builds upon the current framework curriculum guidelines which were established in 1992 and reviewed in 1997. The current process aims to further develop these guidelines and produce a number of core, shared training modules for the Member Programs and LEAD International.

A Curriculum Workshop, held in Phuket, Thailand from 31 January – 6 February 1999 was an important step in the process to explore training content and methodologies being used at the Member Program level and to see where synergy and sharing could help strengthen existing training among the LEAD Program Offices. This meeting was also the first to provide a forum for LEAD Program Directors, Academic Directors and LEAD International Staff to discuss together the curriculum process in order to make it a transparent and highly participatory initiative. Finally, this workshop allowed participants to focus on one aspect of leadership training, that of teambuilding and networking, and to explore new methodologies for treating this key component of the LEAD program through a test of a training module in this area. The conclusions of the Curriculum Workshop are available here 

The next step in the curriculum development process was a meeting of the LEAD International Curriculum Advisory Committee, convened 24-25 March 1999 in Paris to discuss among other things the results of the Phuket Workshop and the curriculum development strategy. The expected outcome of theses two meetings is a proposal on the topics of a set of common curriculum modules which will be developed and shared by the LEAD Programs and reinforced in the International Sessions. The period from May to December 1999 will be used for module development. Implementation will begin in 2000.
