Our Educational Leadership PGCert is for practising educators, leaders and aspiring leaders in any educational setting. On our Educational Leadership PGCert programme, you'll develop both 'know how' and 'know why' in relation to educational leadership. On completing the course, you'll have a good, critical understanding of: - current thinking and key issues of leadership and strategic management of educational institutions - relevant leadership theories and their significance for educational leadership - national and global trends to inform strategic planning and decision making This course will help you to study and plan approaches of practitioner enquiry as a means for: - professional practice - educational effectiveness - improvement of educational organisations At the beginning of the course, we'll ask you to complete a formative reflective professional development statement. This is to tailor the teaching and reading list to your development needs. Previous students and external examiners have identified this personalised approach as a particular strength of the course. Our Educational Leadership PGCert course tutors are active scholars. They have had or currently hold leadership roles within various educational settings. They all teach and supervise across a range of courses. This provides them with a broad knowledge base and a genuine understanding of the challenges of educational contexts.
