What will the course include?

|
Organisational structures, cultures and systems; the nature of leadership and management; individuals and organisations; managing change and innovation |
|
Staff recruitment procedures; recruitment & selection procedures; meetings and internal communications; staff development; teacher development; observation and feedback; performance management and appraisal; managing conflict |
|
Programme development and management; the curriculum and syllabuses; student admission and placement; timetabling and schemes of work; managing teaching / learning materials and resources; managing assessment and testing; student counselling; record-keeping |
|
Planning for quality; establishing standards; monitoring and evaluation; feedback systems; client satisfaction procedures; assessment, inspection and accreditation |
|
Marketing in education; market analysis and segmentation; brands and market presence; market and product development; promotion and sales; customer relations management |
|
business plans; budgets, forecasts and financial reports; cost control; reporting; business information systems |
Most time is likely to be spent on the first four of these areas.
Time will be built into the course for reflection and for participants to consider how to adapt ideas from the course to their own context.
All NILE’s courses involve a significant element of English language improvement and/or development of language awareness.
How long is the course and what approach is used?
The 50-hour course provision includes intensive tuition by trainers who are experts in the fields of ELT and educational management, as well as opportunities for reading and research and guest lectures from well-known figures in the field of ELT.
Classes will be practical and ‘hands-on’ but with reference to relevant theory.
Classes are held from Monday to Friday and take place as detailed in the course-specific timetable but always within the hours 0915 – 1715.
NILE course participants have free access to an extensive ELT library and a modern suite of computers with a broadband Internet link. The NILE course venues have a wireless (Wi-Fi) environment.
