Many teachers need clarification about how to Lead an Area of Learning and Experience. This course will explore the importance of the role within the new curriculum and how to get this into perspective; what effective curriculum design, provision, and medium-term planning may look in and across AoLEs; how to establish assessment and progression across the AoLE; how to effectively lead and manage an AoLE, including how to monitor, evaluate and action plan for excellent provision.

As part of the course, delegates will receive a copy of the Leading Your AoLE booklet worth £75, available in Welsh and English.

The Course Objectives include: 

• Understanding what an effective AoLE leader would look like and how to fulfill the role meaningfully to improve pedagogy, assessment, curriculum, and experiences in their AoLE. 

•  Consider what practical assessment and progression look like across their AoLE and how to embed evaluation so that it becomes indistinguishable from learning. 

• How to effectively audit, monitor and evaluate their AoLE.

• To undertake personal reflection, consider the quality of their leadership style and identify how to improve this. 

• How to action-plan and secure effective change. 

• A toolkit of strategies, audits, and templates to help delegates lead effective staff meetings and collaboratively facilitate school improvement.

This program is available as a face-to-face course and online as well as an in-service for schools. The Resource book can be purchased separately and is available in both English and Welsh.
