BI Norwegian Business School has an ambition to increase pupils’ learning in the Norwegian school. In order for schools to accomplish this there is a need for adaptation and change. Schools have to work in new and innovative ways and more resources must be involved in development and change, including the teachers. Teachers must therefore be trained in leadership. The leadership dimension will in the future be more pronounced in all the tasks teachers work with at the school, both traditional tasks but also by the creation of new roles and tasks where teachers practice leadership. The programme reaches over a number of leader roles that are relevant for teachers, from performance of the leader role in the classroom to leadership in connection with colleagues in a common effort to make a better school. The topics of the programme thus range from classroom management to team management and project management.
The programme teaches students what leadership in the school embraces with regard to possibilities and challenges and why leadership in the school is important for the development of a better school. In addition, students learn how projects and teams should be organised for the pupils’ best. They learn which leadership forms can be used to manage resistance to change in the school. The programme gives students an understanding of the changes and challenges the transition to a digital information society represents, as well as an introduction to how computer-based tools can be used in the school and in society.
Students will be able to implement necessary measures to develop a good school environment with greater learning outcomes for the pupils. The will be able to use tools for analyzing pupil’s data and they will be able to assess their own teaching quality.
Students will first and foremost develop the capacity for independent responsibility for the advancement of quality in the pupils’ learning in the school. The will, to a greater extent than previously, take the initiative in leading teamwork and change processes in the school. They will be in search of new ways of creating a positive teaching environment and an atmosphere of cooperation in their own schools.

The programme is carried out over seven modules. In between modules there will be extensive use of net-based exercises such that the teaching hours will come to a total of 75. The programme is based on a “blended learning” concept, i.e. teaching in which the modules and net support are the two major teaching forms. The counseling will vary in form in the different Master of Management programmes. Personal counseling will be provided, as well as counseling during the modules. Generally speaking, students can expect advice-oriented counseling, not assessment counseling. Counseling time is estimated at two hours per paper.
In programmes that have required attendance it is the responsibility of the students to access information given at lectures but not on the programme’s homepage/Itslearning or other course material.
