Hi a quick reply from me amidst my lunch.

Actually leadership track is quite full now. During MLS, they are encouraging HODs/SHs to switch to ST-ship.

You need to demonstrate initiative, quick/creative thinking when given tasks (basically, demonstrate that you are deserving of a higher CEP.) In addition, the projects need to have impact, especially affecting a level or the whole school. At the end, it also boils down to how your HOD appraise you. (For me, I will appraise a JH more positively if he/she comes to me with proposals to solve problems than coming to me to solve problems for him/her and yes, I have gotten wonderful 1A1 officers to run programmes impacting the whole school and external community before.)

You also need to remember that teaching and learning is still bread and butter and also keep in mind never to forget the duty of care teachers have.

Hope this helps.
