Opis

This is a practical account of what the role of a Deputy Head entails, with suggestions on how it may be fulfilled successfully. The author guides the reader from the role of middle management through to that of school leadership, describing the process of getting a senior post in a school and what to do in those first few months. The text also sets out how to plan a career whilst a deputy head and how the National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) qualification can be incorporated into this planning. The job is complex because it involves managing and leading different groups of people - students, teachers, parents and governors.

Recenzje

'Tranter's book succeeds in being both reflective and highly practical. It's a highly personal, but totally professional account - the best possible handbook for any ambitious teacher.' - Times Educational Supplement
