Master of Education (Leadership & Management)

Reflective leadership is a style of being leader, either as teacher or administrator that connects actions of leaders with inner truths that help shape their outward behaviours and value perspectives. It is imperative that leaders develop insight into an awareness of self to become compelling examples for others. In this course, the concept of reflective practice as a professional activity is explored and leaders learn ways of disciplined reflection on experiences. Participants in this course are invited to develop personal styles of reflective practice. They are assisted to identify, claim, and transform obstacles to good teaching and learning and be empowered to provide positive authentic leadership.

Leadership as Reflective Practice

Teacher resilience has been associated with teacher quality and positive outcomes for both educators and students. School leaders play a critical role in cultivating resilience for staff across the range of career phases and in leading resilient schools. This course focuses on the concept of resilience and why it is important for teachers and school leaders. Using understandings from theory and research, the course explores the influence of both individual and contextual factors in the resilience process along with strategies and practices that constrain and promote resilience. Drawing on theory and recent empirical research, the course will enable students to develop in-depth knowledge and understanding of the concept of resilience and the personal qualities and strategies that promote resilience for themselves and others. Further, the course enables students to understand how school contexts support resilience and the operational, relational and strategic implications for school policies and practices. Throughout the course students will have opportunity to reflect on key themes in relation to their own experiences, understand and apply learning to current and future situations.

Building Resilient Teachers and Schools

This course will provide students with an introductory overview on qualitative and quantitative research methods. The course focuses initially on exploring the nature of a research question and its relationship to the aims and objectives of a research study. Next, the course provides students with the tools and background to critique a research article in an area of professional relevance. The course enables students to critically evaluate a range of research techniques and how they would apply these techniques to a chosen area of study. Finally, students will review and critique literature and methodologies in preparation for the writing of a research proposal within an educational setting.

Applied Research Methods in Education

Higher education requires leaders who are adept at managing continuous change, transparency, consultation, collaboration and accountability. This subject takes a growth approach to assist academics to be effective leaders in learning and teaching and actively advance their careers. It does this through providing a foundation in leadership capabilities and competencies, contemporary leadership theories, and values-based strategic leadership frameworks.
