Will this module help me to become a better teacher?

This module will examine the role of education in personal and team transformation and explore how this can be made more effective. The module is not aimed at helping students to become teachers, if you are looking for a teaching qualification then Post Graduate Certificate in Practice Education may be more appropriate.

Is this module focused on leadership?

Whilst this module will analyse the role of the leader as an educator and influencer in transformative practice, students do not need to be or aspire to be leaders in order to undertake this course or influence change. This module is not specifically aimed at preparing individuals to become leaders. If you are looking for a leadership module than Leading Innovative Specialist Practice may be more appropriate.
