Developing leadership skills
Make success happen as an academic manager.
Many teachers find themselves in management or leadership positions and are expected to succeed without any training or support. Our Developing Leadership Skills course will strengthen your knowledge of educational leadership, expand on your range of leadership competencies, skills and behaviours and build on your understanding of leadership practices and issues.
You will also develop your language skills and be more confident using English in management and leadership contexts.
At Bell Teacher Academy, you will be joining a global community of teachers. This fully-inclusive programme includes a series of workshops and talks related to current thinking and trends in the sector, and a full programme of social events for you to explore life and culture in the UK – outside of the classroom.
