Last modified: 28 Jun 2018 10:27


Course Overview

The aim of this course is to enable participants to shape and lead innovative and effective professional development in their own workplace. The course takes place through online discussions and presentations. Participants investigate a topic of their own choice through action research. We will explore and examine key discourses and models of professional learning and development. Participants will work in small groups and be supported by the course leader in a group and one to one basis. Many of the principles and practices of leading professional development are transferable to other organizations.
