They will build a widening conception of inclusion as related to schools and critically discuss how this relates to extant school leadership policy and practice. Participants will synthesise and analyse research findings along with other sources of evidence to build a framework of literature within which to evaluate their own professional practice, leading to emergent development plans to enhance their own inclusive leadership skills.

Learning and Teaching Information:

Learning will include lectures, small group discussion workshops, seminars, independent study and tutorials. Participants will be expected to draw on their own professional experiences and personal contexts in order to contribute to, and lead, group activities in the context of problem-based learning.
