Course Objective

This course discusses the role and duties of educators who also have a role of middle leaders in educational institutions. It is intended for those educators who after some years of experience in teaching at different levels are aspiring to apply for a middle leadership position at primary and secondary level and also for those who already hold a middle leadership position. At the end of the course, participants will be more aware of the critical role which middle leaders have in our educational institutions, and in what way they serve as a bridge between colleagues, students, and senior leaders. The theoretical and the practical examples mentioned in this course could eventually be put into practice by the course participants.

This course contributes towards the Accelerated Progression Scheme for educators as per the Sectoral Agreement signed in 2017.
