EDED11403  The Entrepreneurial Professional

Contemporary economic and social contexts coupled with competing perspectives on ‘the future’ place significant demands upon educators and educational leaders who are increasingly expected to act in entrepreneurial (and future oriented) ways whilst also remaining true to the professional standards of their present environments. In recognition of this challenging context, this course provides students with skills for thinking about and working towards particular educational futures. Using an approach to future studies known as scenario planning, students in this course will learn to identify, analyse, research and respond to contemporary organisational concerns in ways that demonstrate, also, an appreciation of future and possible developments.
