Learning Outcome 1:
Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of leadership and management theories/
approaches, policy and research.
Specific guidelines relating to this learning outcome:
The students are expected to submit a well-focused piece of work which demonstrates a high level
of understanding of the relevant theories and concepts in their discussion areas. The assignment
should show good subject knowledge, drawing on a wide range of national and/or international
sources –e.g. theoretical & empirical evidence, policy- to construct well-reasoned arguments.

Learning Outcome 2:
Demonstrate subject specific intellectual and research skills
Specific guidelines relating to this learning outcome:
The students are expected to critically analyse educational leadership and management concepts
and reflect on the broader education policy contexts & issues related to your discussed topic (e.g.,
leadership and management models, teacher leadership, leadership and trust, motivation,
teachers’ professional development etc). They should engage in a debate about what policy implies;
what research evidence shows; and, how relevant concepts are applied in order to influence the
learning process. An efficient level of critical evaluation and reflection is required.
Learning Outcome 3:
Develop a line of argument
Specific guidelines relating to this learning outcome:
The students should show a developed ability to analyse and synthesise literature-based data
derived from different sources, following a process of a critical dialogue with the topic. The latter
will help students position themselves in the leadership literature and make good use of their own
voice. The writing should demonstrate a clear line of argument throughout the text.
Other guidelines additional to those linked to the stated learning outcomes:
What would an outstanding piece of work look like
In addition, essential elements for an assignment to be considered outstanding:
Points expressed with fluency;
Well-referenced arguments (e.g., in-text citations and reference list should consistently
follow Harvard or APA referencing conventions throughout your work);
Presentation: well-structured assignment; good signposting; appropriate citation style;
consistent referencing conventions;
Outstanding knowledge of established principles / concepts and evidence of extensive
reading (Guidance for grading assignments at Level 5).
