Opis

With the advent of appraisal, performance related pay, induction for NQTs (newly qualified teachers) and the stresses of league tables and OFSTED inspections, middle managers in secondary schools are being asked to develop and display first class management skills. This text seeks to meet the needs of those who need to develop and update skills for their present job, or who are preparing for the next step into more senior management, including the National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH). Those aspiring to middle management should also find practical guidance in the book.
