ASPIRING HEADS
ASPIRING HEADS
Aspiring Heads is an award winning 6-month online programme delivered by Nadine Bernard and other academia. The course explores personal development, thought leadership and theoretical teaching.
We will provide learners with an opportunity to develop well-informed, robust and reliable skills in line with the National Leadership Standards, that enables teachers to take charge of their professional development. All learners will have access to the course’s online discussion forum, and we encourage learners to use it. Not only will it serve as a resource for information, but it will also aid in helping learners to build their supportive peer network.
We trust that learners will find Aspiring Heads informative, helpful and encouraging.
We look forward to welcoming learners on this exciting programme over a productive and engaging study period.
