ABOUT THE COURSE

The ability of a skilled leader in maximising the aspirations and achievements of students, and in creating a forward-thinking and fulfilling work environment for teachers and other staff cannot be overemphasized.

Course Aims

- Provide knowledge and critical understanding of key theories and concepts within the field of change management, and of the role of leadership in providing strategic direction and in leading change.

- Develop a critical understanding of those factors which influence individual and collective behaviour/s within organisations.

- Enable students to make informed decisions by creatively and systematically applying the knowledge and understanding of key concepts and best practice.

- Support students’ continuing personal and professional development so as to enable them to work as reflective practitioners with self-direction and originality, willing to take on a leadership role and contributing to the success of their own teams, organisations and their students.

CAREERS

This is a professional learning course designed specifically to provide up-to-date knowledge support for professionals working within education leadership & management.

The 60 Masters-level credits can also be used towards a Masters in Education.

Modules

This module takes as its focus the need for all those working within schools and other education institutions to develop positive and productive relationships with others. Leadership and management do not occur in a vacuum, and this module has been designed to develop both functional knowledge and critical understanding of a number of key perspectives on human behaviour within organisations and on the nature and processes of organising human activity. As such it is designed not only to encourage the development of solutions to specific leadership and management problems but also to provide participants with insights into the complex nature of organisations and of organisational life.

Entry requirements

First Class or Second Class Honours Degree in a relevant discipline (applications from students who do not hold a First Class or Second Class Honours Degree (or equivalent), but have appropriate professional experience may be considered). Due to the leadership specialism the expectation of the applicant will be that they have gained some leadership experience within an educational setting. Normally they will be engaged in a leadership role at the time of starting on the programme but aspirational leaders will also be considered if they have the support to engage with leadership practice within their setting.
