Aims
In line with national developments, initiated by UCET and the National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL), this assignment leads to Level M accreditation of the NPQSL qualification. The aim behind this is to increase recruitment onto our PGCert and MEd/MA programme.
Students reflect upon their school improvement work, using their National Professional Qualification for Senior Leadership as the focus. They contextualise this by making links between practice evidence, research evidence and theory in relevant fields. Students select a focus based either on their senior leadership of a whole school initiative, or the nature of the initiative itself. Students might also use their in-school project as a focus of their assignment.
Outline Of Syllabus
The module is not taught, but student reflection and resulting written work is supported through face to face and email tutorials.
