Being an outstanding classroom teacher does not always translate into being an outstanding senior leader – the skill set can be very different. A senior leader’s focus must shift from delivering high-quality classroom teaching, towards leading staff rather than children. Experienced Deputy Headteacher, Jon Tait, sets out to help with this transition by teaching aspiring senior leaders how to lead staff and gain vital knowledge and experience in their new role.
This easy-to-follow title in the Bloomsbury CPD Library specifically focuses on the next stage in a teacher's career: senior leadership. It includes a full set of helpful, ready-to-use training plans for 20 hours of CPD sessions with your school and senior leadership team. All hand-outs and presentations are provided in the book or available as a free download from the companion website.
I highly recommend this book for anyone considering or in a senior leadership role. As an experienced senior leader, Jon Tait provides a great platform to reflect on, improve and develop leadership practice. As a leader, it is vital not only to continue to grow yourself but also to enable this in others around you. This book really captures the essence of highly effective school leadership based on theory, practice and experience. -- Stephen Logan, Deputy Headteacher, @Stephen_Logan
This book is a powerful and unique manual for senior leaders of all educational establishments and those aspiring to be so in the future. It asks questions, demands self-reflection and promotes individual and collaborative evaluation of current practice. Undoubtedly it will provide us with all of the tools required to build capacity and support the next generation of school leadership. Uniquely the book shows that, without prejudice or judgement, we can inspire, motivate and generate teams to lead, prepare, model and critique in order to achieve excellence. -- Phill Dalowsky, Assistant Principal, @phillyneville
The book is interesting to read and captures the essence of leadership in a school. It felt like having a friendly experienced mentor with me the whole time I was reading it. -- EduBlether
The book stands out because it has clear, concise information broken into bite-size chunks. Full credit to Jon Tait as there are useful takeaways and practical ideas for those thinking about applying for a senior leadership role, allowing the reader to reflect about their educational future. -- UKEdChat
