Surviving and Succeeding in Senior School Management - Getting In and Getting On (Hardcover)

Getting a post in senior management in a school can often be very competitive and it helps to know as much about what the job entails. This is a lively, practical account that explores the vital human aspects of any assistant or deputy headteachers role, which often means playing piggy-in-the-middle to a variety of school stakeholders, including the headteachers, other senior managers, the teaching staff, parents and local authority, governors and pupils. The book also covers how to apply for a senior management job and successfully get through the stringent written selection criteria and complex interview process.
There are colorful accounts of the stresses and strains of day-to-day life. The author gives practical tips on how to organize yourself well when the pressure to perform multiple tasks simultaneously is high, such as how to lead and manage major strategic changes, do a good presentation to staff on a training day, and give a rogue pupil an effective telling-off.
This is a highly informative text for any aspiring subject leader or middle manager in the primary or secondary sector. It will also be of interest to existing senior managers who want to reflect on the way they are doing their job already.
