Education – Leadership in Learning (Teach First) - MA

The Professional Practice Enquiry module is the culmination of your Masters in Leadership in Learning. It provides you with the opportunity to develop a systematic understanding of research, national and international frameworks, and practical knowledge in relation to your chosen area, and to develop your professional practice. You are encouraged to use self-direction and originality in pursuing your development focus through professional enquiry. The module provides you with opportunities to: act autonomously in designing and planning a master’s level, practice-based enquiry; to investigate the relationships between theoretical, practical and research knowledge and to consider the actual and potential impact on practice.

Your chosen development focus for the module will be based on personal, professional and subject/ phase priorities. It may build on work carried out in earlier modules, or address an entirely different or new aspect of professional practice. The expectation is that this work is underpinned by a leadership focus, which will demonstrate your skills as a leader and your ability to demonstrate impact in terms of the Fair Education Impact
