Course overview
What Is Leadership in Education Administration?
Leadership in education administration is the skill of running a school or education service so that lessons improve and every student can thrive. On this course leaders explore leadership styles, plan curriculum and evaluate its effectiveness, coach and mentor teachers, apply national frameworks and local regulations, manage finances with accountability, and unite staff, parents and partners around shared goals.
Workshops, case studies and simulations let participants review lesson plans, coach teachers and draft improvement plans for schools and colleges like those education leaders in Guyana are responsible for.
School principals, senior teachers, education policymakers and aspiring leaders in Guyana learn to lead schools with integrity and purpose: inspiring and coaching staff, planning budgets with accountability, building inclusive classrooms that respond to diverse student needs and drawing parents and local organisations into school life.
