Curriculum and subject leadership in schools has recently gained
substantial attention from both researchers and policy-makers. The
Teacher Training Agency (TTA) has reinforced the importance of
subject leadership in school improvement, proposing a new measure
of such leadership competence through the creation of national
subject leader standards (NPQSL). Subject Leadership and School
Improvement reflects critically on the work of subject and
curriculum leaders especially in schools in England and Wales, that
is, those within the policy framework of The National Curriculum
and the Teacher Training Agency. The book debates the functions of
subject leaders in primary and secondary schools, using current
research-based conceptual frameworks, and considers how they can
bring about improvement and change with their colleagues in their
subject areas. It emphasizes what is particular about leading and
managing the middle realm of education organizations, showing how
structural, cultural and individual imperatives and perspectives
interact with each other in the professional practice of being a
subject leader. The book is of interest not only to subject leaders
and curriculum co-ordinators, to help them reflect rigorously on
their practice, but also to those responsible for supervising them,
such as headteachers and school governors, as well as for those
accountable to them. It will be a useful text for serving teachers
undertaking higher degrees programmes or programmes for gaining
national standards qualifications, the National Professional
Qualification for Headteachers (NPQH) as much as for the NPQSL
(National Professional Qualification for Subject Leaders) when it
is implemented.
