Location of Keele University
The education team within the School supports critical and independent enquiry into leadership, management, learning and teaching that draws on social science perspectives and debates. It supports research that aims to improve the experiences of all participants in education and has a very successful track record of providing continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities for education professionals, whether practising teachers or educational managers. This MA has been designed to complement other education programmes run within the School. Specifically it addresses the issues in the National CPD Capacity Building Strategy being developed by the DfES and the Training and Development Agency, providing serving teachers with professional development and accreditation opportunities.
The modular programme allows flexibility in that participants may take single modules, or build modules into recognised awards (Postgraduate Certificate, Postgraduate Diploma and MA).
Delivery is through a combination of self-study materials and one day taught sessions for each module enabling sharing of ideas and good practice. In certain circumstances there are opportunities for school-based delivery on core modules that has proved successful in the past and is in line with current TDA thinking.
The aims of the MA course are as follows:
* To support the development of a community of reflective practitioners based on scholarship, professionalism and ethical practice in learning and teaching
* To develop participants’ leadership and management skills and their understanding of the issues related to educational leadership
* To develop participants’ understanding of issues relating to teaching and learning
* To inform teaching practice on the basis of theory, research and practical experience
* To encourage the development of critical reflection on the relationship between theory and practice in educational leadership, management and learning
* To encourage critical and productive engagement with the professional contexts within which participants work, at local, regional and national level
* To provide a forum for support and regular discussion of teaching issues with peers
* To prepare course members for further academic study
