Within the university there are many examples of leadership. One of them is pedagogical leadership. This course puts a pedagogical leadership perspective on various aspects of education and learning.
This course is aimed at those who already have – or will soon take on – a pedagogical leadership role (for example, as a head of department, director of studies, or program coordinator). The ultimate goal of the course is to provide you with tools and inspiration to drive pedagogical development forward, thereby contributing to high-quality education and improved student learning.
The course is based on pedagogical leadership and highlights how education and learning can be developed from a leadership perspective. During the course, you will have the opportunity to map the activities you lead, formulate a personal vision for your pedagogical leadership, and create an action plan for future development work.
