Participant Feedback
“Throughout the three sessions of the secondary music leadership course, I was introduced to an array of new ideas that I am now going to implement in my school to ensure that all students can get the most out of their music education.”
“This course allowed me to reflect on my current teaching practice and pedagogical approach, whilst exploring new ideas and discussing experiences with fellow music teachers.”
“The Secondary Leadership Course has enabled me to reflect on my own practice whilst giving me some guidance on strategic development, curriculum, and assessment. As a single-person department it has been refreshing to talk to other colleagues and find out what they are doing.”
“The course has been very insightful and has provided me with the key building blocks I will use to further my own practice and improve my music department within my school. “
