Course structure
Subject leaders have a key role in supporting every young person in a secondary school to succeed, including those identified with SEND. We have designed this course to support subject leaders in developing their knowledge and skills around SEND and explore how subject leaders can use existing structures and practices to secure good outcomes for all pupils. Subjects leaders are busy people, and in recognition of the fact that this leadership role has many facets, we have endeavoured to make this course practical, accessible and relevant.
Learning tasks and activities have been designed to be relevant to the practical reality of subject leadership. Existing routine leadership activities are explored to consider how these can be enhanced or tweaked, rather than recommending workload intensive reinvention of the wheel. There are areas of the course that refresh existing knowledge and also extension activities and links to further reading. This is your course, so feel free to focus on the elements most pertinent to your context and personal aims.
