Becoming a subject leader for the first time can be a daunting prospect. This course will offer support and inspiration to teachers who are new to taking on whole-school responsibility, or want additional support to help them perform their existing role well. Subject leaders will be guided through their main responsibilities and how to effectively fulfill their role, ensuring that provision in their subject is exceptional. There will be an opportunity to consider curriculum intent, implementation and impact in reference to the quality of education judgment in the Ofsted inspection framework as well as how to prepare for a deep dive. In addition, we will explore how to use monitoring processes to accurately evaluate provision to in turn support colleagues with their practice and implement effective change.
