The overall aim is to enable students to have a critical understanding and appreciation of effective educational leadership:

1. to develop an understanding of schools as organisations and how context influences effectiveness.
2. to appreciate the notion of teamwork and how distributed leadership can be effective in organisations.
3. to enable students to understand the key responsibilities of effective leadership eg leading teaching and learning, recruitment.
4. to appreciate that the management of performance needs to be central to overall leadership and management at institutional level.
5. to reflect school leadership in the 21st century and how leaders need to think and act both locally and globally.

In 2021 this module will start at the end of semester 1 and continue into semester 2 so that students have received the module content before they have their observational placement. This will enable students to be well prepared for the placement module, if they are taking it.

If, in semester 1 2021 lectures are timetabled as being-on line due to covid-19 restrictions, the learning outcomes for this module can be met fully and we will return to campus learning as soon as it is safe to do so. Any planned visits to schools will be replaced with on-line input from professionals in schools to enable students to engage with current educational practice.

The module is divided into the following ten sessions:

1. Context for leadership and management
2. Organisational cultures, structures and roles Models of educational leadership
3. Leading and managing through teams
4. Planning for assignment 1
5. Leading learning and teaching Managing meetings, time and stress
6. Recruitment and selection Induction and retention
7. Managing conflict
8. Leading and managing performance
9. Leading and managing change Planning for assignment 2
10. International perspectives on leadership
