Striving for excellence in student achievement

As a leader you will want to get the very best out of your team to maintain the success of the institution as you engage your colleagues in a positive and collaborative way.  You will want to keep teams happy, enthusiastic and working with a high degree of professional pride while also enabling them to develop their own leadership skill.  This will be is important for their personal progression as much as for the institution and the success of students at all levels.  Making sure everyone is working towards the same goals will be vital for the success of all.

You will assess the purpose, the delivery and the impact of your team. You will investigate the vision and values of your institution at team and organisational level. You will dig deep into the leadership and management of the team and ask how effectively it is working to secure optimum student success. Analysis of pedagogy and assessment methodology in the team and how it fits into the institutions’ overall strategy will form the basis of your curriculum strategy which you will develop in preparation for accreditation.
