Overview
Module aims and purpose
Drawing upon relevant theories, this module will encourage students to see leadership and management as essential aspects of their work. It will enable students to identify the organisational culture of their early years setting or school and evaluate its impact on children鈥檚 well-being, development and learning and make adjustments where necessary (environment, curriculum, pedagogy etc.). It will also聽 address issues of equality and diversity as they affect all aspects of organisational life. It will聽 focus on reflective practice as the principal tool through which practitioners can effect these changes, presenting a range of ideas and models of reflection, which can be drawn upon.聽聽
The module aims to develop students:聽
- To take a creative and constructively critical approach towards adopting practice when benefits and improvements are identified.聽聽
- To evaluate the effectiveness of provision for supporting children鈥檚 learning and development and to take the lead role in making appropriate changes in the environment and/ or delivery of practice.聽聽聽
- To consider equality, diversity and inclusion issues when thinking about changes.聽聽聽
- To consider issues relating to the establishment of fair, respectful, trusting and constructive relationships with children, colleagues and/or parents/carers.聽聽
- To draw on theories of reflective practice to evaluate the impact on practice.聽聽
Module learning outcomes
By the end of the module, it is expected that students will be able to:聽
- Discuss key theories of leadership and change management related to early years and/or primary contexts and evaluate professional literature, in relation to applying theory within practice.聽聽聽
- Argue in relation to the effectiveness of the learning environment, with children鈥檚 interests, learning and development needs informing the decisions for change while considering principles of equality and diversity.聽聽
- Appraise alternatives and plan and implement actions to be able to lead and manage a process for change.聽聽聽
- Communicate effectively with children, staff and other professionals, drawing on research and their own evidence to support the rationale of change, using the key principles of reflective practice to justify your change and to develop practice and self-awareness.聽
