超越校長培訓課程的專業支援：剪影法

有效的校長領導，有助學校提升。香港現時的校長支援系統鮮有從個人出發，未盡滿足個別校長所需。「剪影法」乃支援校長領導的新方向，本文檢視其背景、緣起、設計、發展、實踐，並對校長專業產生的影響。訪談的過程中，採用「個人」、「朋輩」、「私隱」三原則，訪者和受訪者在暢所欲言後，整理出個人的「剪影」以作參照。這可補充現時香港校長培訓課程的不足，有助解決校長人才短缺、繼承等問題，值得進一步探究。
Effective principal leadership is helpful in improving the school. The existing supporting mechanism for principals in Hong Kong could rarely satisfy the needs of principals as individuals. The portrait method is innovative in supporting principals: its background, origin, design, development, practice and impacts on principals’ professional development are examined in the article. Based on the principles of ‘personal’, ‘peer-based’ and ‘privacy’, interviewers and interviewees can share freely while portraits are generated for reference. This can supplement the inadequacies of the existing training courses in Hong Kong which might be helpful in solving problems of shortage and succession of principals. The method worths further explorations. Copyright © 2016 香港教師中心.
