Overview
The Graduate Certificate in Literacy Leadership is designed for teachers wishing to lead change in literacy practice at school and district levels. It will extend students' understandings in key aspects of English including working with assessment data from a range of sources. It also presents an opportunity to focus on leadership skills.
All subjects will be offered in blended delivery mode; that is, a combination of face-to-face and online. However it is possible to study the course entirely online.
Entry Requirements
Entry is available to candidates who satisfy the University's entry requirements for Graduate Certificates (ie a three year degree or equivalent). However, it is assumed that students have teaching qualifications in general language and literacy pedagogy.
Credit Arrangements
Students who wish to continue onto the MEd program can transfer 24 credit points for subjects completed in a Graduate Certificate program, provided the candidate has not formally graduated with the Graduate Certificate award. If the candidate has formally received the Graduate Certificate, up to 12 credit points of credit will be granted towards the MEd. Credit is only granted for study that is over and above the entry requirements for the MEd.
