EDPA6016: Middle Leadership
2024 unit information
Currently, middle leaders are seen as integral to the success of educational organisations. This course focuses upon the importance of middle leading as practice, from a critical perspective. The purpose is to understand current policy and research about the changing role of the middle leader, particularly in the context of curriculum and pedagogical reform and policy change. The orientation of the course is towards enabling individuals to reflect upon, to analyse and to critique their own middle leadership, relative to own experiences, and the leadership of others within their own context. Theory illuminates practice and practice informs theory.
