Module description

The module asks students to think critically about the purpose, importance and understanding of key concepts and theories of management and educational leadership in international education. To this end, the module will begin by exploring the evolution of management and the qualities of an effective leader in educational settings in the 21st century. It will then introduce and consider relevant theories and principles underlying practice in educational leadership. In order to demonstrate an awareness of the contextual nature of leadership, the module will examine the contributions from international leadership perspectives. Students will be encouraged to analyse and discuss questions and issues arising from study in-line with their own practice and experience.
