Dates for 2023/24: Tuesday, 21st November 2023 at Collyer's, with an online follow-up session for one hour on Wednesday, 29th November 2023 (1.00pm to 2.00pm)
The New Heads of Department training runs annually in the Autumn term and is aimed at new HoDs who are in their first year of the post.
The programme runs as a one-day course with a one-hour online follow-up session a week later in order to facilitate some reflection in between. Delegates will be required to attend both the whole day of training and the follow-up session.
Written and delivered by experienced Heads of Department in the S7 Colleges, the course gets to grips with some of the critical factors that face a new Head of Department. The topics covered are: working with the departmental team, different approaches to measuring value-added, driving up quality and observing departmental lessons. There will also be an opportunity between the two days for delegates to reflect on a departmental issue and actions to be taken.
If you are a new Head of Department and interested in attending this course please discuss it with your Staff Development Manager in your college.
