Managing
a Subject
High
The
aim of this course for subject leaders is to develop the knowledge,
skills and understanding required to promote high attainment and
good quality teaching for all pupils by the end of the course participants
should have:
- an understanding
of the importance and purpose of the role of subject leader
- a clear view
of how their role relates to whole school management and the drive
to improve standards
- enhanced
skills required to carry out their role
- a deeper
understanding of one aspect of their role which they have chosen
to develop.
The
course has six compulsory components including 3 half day sessions
at the Education Development Centre, Hepscott Park. These are:
- Pre course

- Why have
subject leaders? A half day introductory session to clarify the
importance and purposes of the role of a subject leader. Skills
and competencies for this role will be clarified and each course

own school.
- School based
development work with a focus on planning for improvements. Support
will be available on request from the Standards and Effectiveness
Division.

opportunity to feedback on and discuss their school based research

the subject leader can be effective in supporting colleagues and

the components, including the school based development work.
