Scottish
Qualification for Headship
(MEd in Educational Leadership and Management) -
Awards: MEd (33 mth PT), Diploma
(27 mth PT), Certificate (15 mth PT)
A key aim is to provide a flexible programme,
which not only prepares aspiring headteachers for that post, but also
provides quality continuous professional development experience for a range
of senior managers and leaders in schools. The MEd is added for 2007/8
by the inclusion of a dissertation phase.
The programme is based on the Standard for Headship in Scotland and is
a blend of taught days, tutorials, seminars and work- based learning and
development: this final element is crucial to success in the programme.
An important feature of the programme is the partnership model, where
City of Edinburgh, Fife, East Lothian, Midlothian and Scottish Borders
are equal partners in programme support and delivery. The local authorities
select the programme participants and pay the fees from money allocated
by SEED for professional development.
" ...not only prepares aspiring headteachers
for that post, but also provides quality continuous professional development
experience."
