Summary

This is a two-year part-time programme, delivered in blended/online format, leading to a This is a two-year, part-time programme, delivered in blended/online format, leading to a unique combined 90-credit Masters qualification in Leadership Education and Inclusive Education. Modules will be delivered by synchronous online lectures over two hours at evening time, with some onsite activities organised outside of normal working hours, such as on Saturdays. For those unable to attend onsite, recordings of the inputs will be made available.

The aim of this programme is to bring together two strands of postgraduate education for teachers which, traditionally have been offered very separately. It aims to combine the development of leadership skills with the enhancement of an inclusive mindset for aspiring school leaders. It aims to place the organisational aspects of inclusive education at the centre of organisational development and, hence, school development. It aims to place the effective inclusion of pupils, who are potentially vulnerable to exclusion, at the centre of overall school effectiveness. Such vulnerability can arise on the grounds of (dis)ability, or social, cultural or linguistic backgrounds or other minority status.

It aims to familiarise students with the latest national and international research in relation to Leadership Education and Inclusive Education.

This Masters in Education qualification has the potential to further the careers of a range of educators, including mainstream class teachers, special education teachers and both current and aspiring school leaders.

It will enhance recruitment opportunities with a range of agencies that support schools.

It will further the careers of Special Education Teachers, enabling them to perform a co-ordinating and managerial role in relation to provision for pupils with Additional Educational Needs in schools.

It will enable SET teachers to apply for national and regional roles within the National Council for Special Education (NCSE), including, but not confined to, the roles of Special Educational Needs Organisers (SENOs) and Visiting Teachers providing consultative services to schools.
