Curriculum development and assessment examine how administrative roles support curriculum delivery, assessment processes, and record management. School community relations explore communication with parents, carers, and wider communities, highlighting the importance of engagement and collaboration.
Technology in school administration introduces the use of digital tools and systems to support administration, communication, and data management in education settings.
Knowledge-check activities throughout the course support reflection and understanding. The assessment and final exam evaluate learners’ understanding of school administration principles, organisational awareness, and education-sector practices developed throughout the course.
