Supervision Skills for Leadership

Supervision Skills for Leadership
24 Jan 2022 - 11 Jul 2022
Those in a leadership position in schools are at the forefront of supporting vulnerable pupils and their families but unlike most other professionals (speech therapist, educational psychologists and social workers) concerned with the education of pupils, there is no formal tradition of supervision for leadership in schools. This course fills that gap.
Research evidence from other related professions and emerging school-based research has demonstrated the importance and benefits of supervision, including, but not limited to, job satisfaction, professional development and the ability to cope with job-related stress.
The main subject areas covered on this course
This course will:
- Be both theoretical and practical and spread over two terms to learn current theoretical perspectives behind effective supervision and apply this learning in practise in your setting.
- Review the different models of supervision and how they might be applied in different contexts.

- Explore some of the more common supervision problems and dilemmas in education and possible ways forward.
