Course content

Progress your career in education, and step into a leadership role. Are you ready to take on school leadership? Do you want to make the leap into your first role as a leader? This course will shape your identity and approach as a leader. You’ll analyse the latest research and techniques in educational leadership - in the context of your own career. You’ll learn about areas like:

Managing change
Leadership styles
Motivating individuals
Handling conflict
And leading a team

You’ll reflect closely on your own experiences in leadership as you learn. You’ll get to know your strengths, and you’ll understand past challenges. And you’ll have the freedom to focus your learning on the areas that matter most to you. You’ll join a vibrant and supportive cohort of future school leaders. And you’ll build a lasting professional network- who you’ll learn from as you study.

You’ll graduate with the self-awareness central to strong leadership - along with the skills, knowledge and confidence to lead.
