| Career Path | The Master of Education in Literacy Professional Practice (MEDLPP) programme is designed to meet the professional and personal needs of teachers and educators seeking to acquire deep expertise in literacy. It is a research-to-practice based qualification which is intended for those who wish to interrogate the research base on the creative, aesthetic, affective and cognitive dimensions of literacy and to systematically test relevant theories and evidence-based practices and in so doing to develop new insights and ways of working that respond to the needs of children within their school and classroom contexts. It will also support the ongoing development of key skills and dispositions in teachers relating to creative and adaptive problem solving, effective communication and ways of acting as agents of transformation and change within the system. It is also suitable for those seeking posts of responsibility for literacy within schools, or leadership in literacy in other relevant educational contexts. |
