The LCP idea in action - Pilot in Mumbai
CFBT Education Services, India piloted LCP in 19 schools in Mumbai with the support of the Archdiocesan Board of Education Mumbai.
This was viewed as a potentially low cost, high impact, and
sustainable approach to school improvement. School leaders were selected from a mix of schools – private aided and private; and from different Boards of affiliation including the State Board, IB and Cambridge. We paired school leaders to provide regular high calibre coaching to each other in achieving rapid school
improvement over a 6month period. Each school leader set a
measurable improvement priority using school data, and they
supported each other to codify and share their good school
leadership practices. With the diverse range of schools involved in the pilot, the learnings are highly relevant to the wide range of
schools within the Indian context.
“Learning has now become joyful, and the ‘happy school’ syndrome
is observed many a times.”

available in our respective schools and make the best of it.”
