Description
This course develops your personal capability, enhances your subject knowledge and furthers your career towards subject leadership.
We designed the first year to help you achieve two qualifications: the PgCert in Managing School Design and Technology, and the Design and Technology Association Subject Leadership Qualification.
The course reflects the dynamic and rapidly changing design and technology curriculum in schools. It enhances your vision and philosophy of design and technology.
As a key contributor to the secondary school curriculum, the course sets the agenda for your own professional development and allows you to take a leading role in developing the subject.
The flexible structure enables you to fit your studies around professional and personal commitments, while working towards a postgraduate qualification. This can be demanding, so we offer web-based learning environments, email, discussion groups and telephone to help support you.
Through a range of study and activity, you develop generic and specific management skills needed for today´s curriculum manager.
The course also recognises the need for teachers to update their own subject knowledge and skills in line with modern industrial practice. This is necessary to provide the necessary leadership in a dynamic design and technology environment.
We structure the course on teachers´ work patterns in school and use your school as a major source of information for research and development. We also encourage active collaboration between course members working in different establishments.
Tuition fees for this course are paid by the Teacher Training Agency through the Design and Technology Association. You must pay a charge of £300 to cover the cost of registration, assessment and academic accreditation at postgraduate certificate level.
