Module Aims
The module will:
1 Enable students to develop critical and reflective knowledge and understanding of evidence from theory, research, policy and practitioner bases relevant to their practice as leaders and managers with a level of responsibility for the promotion of an effective and efficient curriculum in FE Institutions
2 Enable students to apply this learning to secure enhanced personal
effectiveness in the practice of their professional roles and enhanced institutional performance and practice.
Content Summary
The module will address a range of issues relevant to the aims stated above, including those of identifying and promoting effective and efficient developing, marketing and delivery of the curriculum. The relationships between clients needs locally and nationally (and internationally where appropriate), government imperatives and resource implications will be examined compared and
analysed. The curriculum will be viewed as the overall product of the institution with a multiplicity of segments within this. Issues relating to matching the curriculum product to customer needs will be raised and developed. Theories, policies and practice in relation to quality and performance enhancement in these processes will receive a particular focus.
Students holding management or leadership roles directly related to curriculum delivery may wish to focus on methods of delivery and development. Those whose roles are not directly related to curriculum delivery may wish to focus e.g. on the financial implications of curriculum change and delivery structures and methods.
Similar opportunities would arise in service/support areas such as H.R./ M.I.S, Estates, Marketing and Student Services. Central emphasis will be given to the curriculum as the core of all FE activities.
It is intended that all students will gain fuller understanding of the ways in which a wide range of disparate roles and responsibilities impinge on and are affected by the curriculum and especially by curriculum development and change.
It is expected that heightened understanding of effective liaison and integration, will enhance the attainment of what can be complex goals. In addition and importantly the module will seek to develop understanding of the key factors and processes influencing the receivers of curriculum delivery (the learners) with the aim of equipping learners to manage their own learning and to promote more effective professional training and development within teams.
