2. Programme Outline
The Project Management Fundamentals Programme is for educators who wish to leave the classroom and secure a new role in another industry. The Programme supports educators to understand how their project management/project support experiences in schools, relates to the key terminology and systems used in project management cycles across sectors.
While we draw from project management methodologies, this Programme is not based on one model.
The Programme outline is as follows:
Session 1: Introduction to Project Management Session 2: Project Initiation Session 3: Project Planning Session 4: Project Scheduling Session 5: Project Budgeting Session 6: Team Leadership Session 7: Communication Session 8: Project Monitoring Session 9: Project Control Session 10: Project Closure and Continuous Improvement
The Programme is a 10 week commitment where you can receive weekly training, resources and guidance.
3. Eligibility
This Programme is suitable for those who are over the age of 18 and who are still teaching, or who have been teachers until recently.
4. Programme Specifics
There are four elements to the Programme:
- The Project Management Fundamentals Programme is delivered over 10 weeks with live training sessions happening on Zoom Thursday evenings 7-8pm. There will be a break half way for a week for school holidays.
- Access to recorded replays of the workshops on our course area on our app.
- Weekly PDF resources to accompany the trainings and embed learning.
- A private community on our app to discuss training content and ask questions.
The online training sessions are delivered by Ki-Li Watkins who is a project manager for a large charity and has completed accreditations in project management. Sessions are sometimes supported by Joanne Howard who contributes her online business management and launch planning experience.
During each weekly live Zoom session, members have an opportunity to ask questions on the topic of the call, share their experiences, hear from other members and receive mentoring from Ki-Li Watkins.
The information and guidance shared will be based on the tools and resources Joanne Howard (a certified coach, business strategist and Ex-School Leader/consultant) and Ki-Li Watkins (Project Manager and Ex-Senior School Leader/Consultant) have found to be most beneficial for transitioning teachers when evidencing skills in project management to prospective employers.
The weekly sessions will be recorded and made available in the private members area.
This Programme is going through the process of being accredited with the CPD Standards Authority.
To be eligible for the accreditation, you will need to: - Attend 80% of the sessions live (watching any recordings missed) - Complete short reflection exercises (which will support your applications/interviews) - Be a paying member of the Academy for the duration of the programme (3 months)
