(syllabus)
People who hold leadership roles and functions in educational contexts play a strategic role in enhancing the teaching-learning processes and in promoting the improvement of the overall quality of the educational offer. In contexts characterized by organizational, didactic and research autonomy, a central role is played by the Head of the School or the Heads of Educational Services, who directly exercise their educational leadership, and can also generate leadership, more specifically: by encouraging the development of professional communities and communities of practice; by supporting the work of teachers and educators who assume specific responsibilities or who perform tasks and functions at the mesosystem and microsystem level (collaborators, coordinators, tutors, “instrumental” and “intermediate functions”, etc.). Educational leadership also extends to actively involving students by developing autonomy, assumption of responsibility and fostering discussion and co-responsibility between school and family and more generally with the territory. The course examines the widespread or distributed educational leadership and takes a detailed look at its implications for teaching organization and learning, in the perspective of ensuring quality, sustainability, effectiveness, inclusiveness and especially the active practice of democratic leadership in educational contexts. The course aims in particular to develop knowledge, skills and competences related to: the use of participatory educational strategies and methodologies centered on the learning of professional communities, students and territories; the monitoring and self-evaluation of the effectiveness of their action as educational leaders; the development of critical skills to exercise educational leadership in formal and informal educational contexts; the enhancement of ICT and digital infrastructures to support educational and management processes.
The course "Educational leadership and Didactic Organization" takes place in the first and second semester and is structured in the following manner: Professor Giovanni Moretti (6 CFU Main Module in person + 3 CFU Seminars activities carried out both online and in person), Dr. Arianna Lodovica Morini (3 CFU laboratory activities carried out both online and in person)
