This engaging and very practical toolkit indicates how leadership and management should operate to help meet the challenge of raising learner achievement. What I like about this book it accommodates leaders at any level. This is a must-have book.
This is a great, easy access text for busy leaders alike. It offers- practical readable advice.
While not heavy on theoretical content, it offers a range of practical approaches, which are useful for students because discussions contextualise and ground elements of schools leadership in practice.
Clear, informative and practical. A very valuable resource for school leaders to have on their desk!
Good useful strategies for in-house leadership exercises.
