EDED11326  School Policies & Programs

Not offered in 2001

School policies cover a wide spectrum of school life, and assist school administrators, teachers and ancillary staff in making decisions in the school context. Students in this course become aware of how school policies and programs originate and the process by which they are implemented in schools. A selection of school policies and programs are introduced in the course and students are introduced to various policies and programs and their function in school settings. Students also learn skills in researching, consulting, drafting, updating, evaluating, reviewing, interpreting, analysing and explaining school policies. Students should also be able to develop policies and programs for their own setting by identifying a policy omission in their school context and drafting a policy to fill this gap.
