Leadership in Education

I admit, at first, I was quite sceptical about the "Leadership in Education" course. I thought it would overlap with material from the previous semester and wouldn’t offer anything new. However, from the very first sessions, I realised I was wrong – this course was completely different! I’m glad I had the opportunity to participate because I learnt so many things that will be useful to me as a primary school teacher. The most interesting part for me was the simulated educational environment, where each of us had a role – teacher, student, or even parent. It made me see the classroom from different perspectives. Not only did I better understand the students' needs, but I also received concrete ideas on how to tackle classroom challenges. This course was truly a challenge, but also an inspiration!

The "Leadership in Education" course helps us, the students, to express ourselves by placing us in different roles and situations. Personally, it helped me expand my capabilities, relax more in front of an audience, and express myself more freely. The course teaches us to think critically, analyse problems, find solutions, and share helpful advice and different opinions. I appreciate the friendly atmosphere – we’re not worried, we feel comfortable, and every session is filled with diverse and interesting tasks. I believe the course is very relevant to our field of study because it often gives us the chance to express what kind of leaders we want to be, what we strive for, and how we envision ourselves as future teachers. We played out different scenarios, stepped outside our comfort zones, and fully embraced our roles. This was an incredibly useful and inspiring experience!
