MA Leadership

We cordially invite you to enroll in the Institute of Education’s Masters degree in leadership. This Masters degree has been developed and agreed upon by the Institute and the Hellenic-American

Educational Foundation for the benefit of the teachers working at Athens College and Psychico College. This invitation to join the third cohort of this successful programme has now been extended to other teachers working in schools and colleges in Greece.

The aims of the IOE’s MA Leadership course are:

1. to equip you with a body of knowledge that will improve your understanding of leadership and learning in educational institutions, particularly schools;

2. to enable you to reflect critically on key areas of theory, empirical research and values underpinning leadership, adult and student learning and learning communities;

3. to enable you to apply key theories and research findings to your own working environment;

4. to enable you to analyse and reflect critically on the wider educational policy context as it impacts on leadership and learning and the raising of standards;

5. to enable you to explore ways in which leadership can contribute to the improvement of educational systems and institutions and particularly to the quality of teaching and learning;

6. to foster reflection on practice throughout the course and particularly through engagement with other course participants.

PROGRAMME OF STUDY

The course consists of:

· one core 30-credit Master’s level modules:

- Leading and Managing Change and Improvement

· three 30-credit modules chosen from a range of options, and

· either the 60-credit Dissertation (20k words) or a further optional module and a 30-credit Report (10k words).

The degree of Master of Arts in Leadership (180 credits) shall be awarded by the Institute of Education, University of London on the successful completion of the programme.

The minimum period of part-time study is three years. It is anticipated that you will complete within three years, however you may apply to the Institute to extend your period of study up to a maximum of four years.
