The MA Education (Leadership and Management) course offers modules of study designed to complement the range of professional qualifications offered to those who hold or aspire to positions in the senior and middle management of educational institutions. Consistent with the agenda for school improvement and organisational effectiveness the focus is on leadership and management of schools and related organisations. A range of models and frameworks are studied which provide you with the tools for leading and managing schools and organisations in the twenty first century. The emphasis is on the primacy of practise and the application of models to contemporary organisational problems, most significantly to the student's own context. - See more at: http://www.hope.ac.uk/postgraduate/postgraduatecourses/educationleadershipandmanagementma/title,4087,en.html#sthash.NXz0fIHm.dpuf
