Description

The module aims to explore the conceptual frameworks and practices of leadership and the learning organisation. The module investigates international literature underpinning leadership and the learning organisation, in particular focussing on their application in education settings. Throughout the course, students will investigate the processes, practices and theories of leadership in organisations. They will be encouraged to critically engage with key ideas in these fields and how they apply to relevant education contexts. Students will develop their understanding of how to lead and manage people within educational organisations. The module will furnish students with the knowledge to appraise current practices and make recommendations for improvement. Students will understand the underpinning philosophy of the learning organisation, its strengths, and the leadership required to instil this philosophy in an education context.
