Book Synopsis The Early Years of Leadership by : Ian Marshall
Download or read book The Early Years of Leadership written by Ian Marshall and published by IAP. This book was released on 2022-07-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Early Years of Leadership: The Journey Begins is distinctive for many reasons, chief among which is a strong commitment to honoring practitioners’ stories and empirical research. The chapters in this volume also represent the work of scholars and school practitioners from the global north and south. The fusion of diverse international perspectives allows for greater identification of local and global commonalities and trends that would provide aspiring and novice school principals with practical information and strategies for their development. These include strategies for helping them to find their internal motivation and a roadmap to develop leadership philosophies and negotiate common leadership pitfalls within and outside of the school community. This book is intended for use by aspiring and incumbent school administrators and students enrolled in educational leadership and administration courses. Each chapter offers an overview of the specific area of focus and concludes with reflective activities and questions for discussion. It can therefore be used as a companion reader for administrators, as well as a teaching tool by universities and other professional development programs. ENDORSEMENTS: "As an educational leader spanning almost three decades, I find “The Early Years of Leadership: The Journey Begins” a delightful must read for both the seasoned and up and coming educational leader, whose objective is a successful career at leading in a changing and challenging educational environment. I commend the Editorial Team for providing a guidebook for managing challenges faced by novice leaders; suggestions for crafting a leadership philosophy; and advice on how to negotiate micro-politics and challenges in schools. Those involved in leadership training and principal preparation would also find this a useful text since it includes vignettes and reflection questions that are sure to generate robust discussion and facilitate the deconstruction of key leadership concepts." — Abel Adekola, Wilkes University "The stories of the leaders throughout this book demonstrate that leadership is a journey. While there is no predetermined timeline, the pace of progress can be influenced by one’s participation in reflective practice, engagement in a community of practice and the availability of ongoing professional development. By providing them with the insight and information needed to understand better the vital role leaders play in fostering school success, The Early Years of Leadership: The Journey Begins can assist administrators with the necessary knowledge and guidance to create leaders of learning that can respond to the increasing societal challenges our schools face." — Camille Rutherford, Brock University
Download or read book Making the Leap written by Dr Jill Berry and published by Crown House Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jill believes that the qualities that make you a good teacher are closely related to those which will serve you well in leadership. Every teacher is, in fact, a leader of learning within their own classroom. As your career progresses and you move from one leadership role to another, your sphere of influence gradually grows. You will have the chance to learn, to grow, to prove yourself. You will make mistakes and survive them. Headship is demanding, but it is also extremely rewarding: this book will encourage you to be clear-sighted about the challenges and responsibilities that lie ahead. Managing the transition from deputy to first-time headship successfully will ensure that you are on the most positive trajectory as you continue your leadership journey. In Jill's experience, new heads often ask themselves similar questions. How can I balance the two roles as I begin to hand over my senior leader responsibilities and, at the same time, begin to assume the mantle of the head? How can I establish the most positive and productive relationship with the outgoing head, so that confidence is maintained and the school is energised, rather than threatened, by the change of school leader? How can I ensure the early months and years of headship are as successful as possible, so that the school develops and grows even stronger under my leadership? This book will answer all those questions and more. Suitable for teachers, middle leaders and senior leaders who are considering school headship. Making the Leap was a finalist in the 2017 Education Resources Awards in the Educational Book Award category.

Book Synopsis The Two Directions Formulating a Crisis in Primary Catholic School Leadership by : Rachel Gould
Download or read book The Two Directions Formulating a Crisis in Primary Catholic School Leadership written by Rachel Gould and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the year 2000, there has been a statistically high proportion of head teachers leaving the profession. While there have been studies conducted to predict when this exodus would conclude, the actual reasons for why senior people are leaving their positions have not been explored so far. Schools have found replacing head teachers increasingly difficult and the inevitable leadership crisis has been well documented by both scholars and the media. The leadership crisis has been most noticeable within the Catholic Primary School sector, where statistics have consistently shown an issue with recruiting people to headship positions. This book considers the reasons for the crisis and looks at potential solutions. It identifies what the leadership crisis encompasses from the negativity of the education system (including headship accountability, the work-life balance, and salary), whilst also offsetting this with possible supporting solutions, such as the value of acting headship, succession planning and talent spotting from the beginning of a teacher’s career.
Download or read book The Headship Game written by Tessa Atton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-12-16 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being an effective headteacher requires a combination of leadership skills. What does an aspiring head need to know to win the ‘headship game’? Tessa Atton and Brian Fiddler focus on particular pressure points and key issues that can be particularly problematic and suggest ways of dealing with them. Comparisons are made between headships and chief executive roles of other organisations and extensive examples are included from current headteachers to illustrate aspects of the job which they find most challenging. The authors also examine the career of headship from application to retirement and emphasize the need to learn about leadership before becoming a head. Using examples of current headship practice, they suggest ways of developing good practice further. Some of the issues covered in this practical guide include: * development of leadership thought * achieving headship * selecting and supporting headteachers * understanding the demands of contemporary headship * after headship. The Headship Game will be a valuable resource for current and aspiring headteachers, deputy heads and those on NPQH courses.

Book Synopsis The Primary Head by : Peter Mortimore
Download or read book The Primary Head written by Peter Mortimore and published by Paul Chapman Publishing. This book was released on 1991 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, primary headteachers present their thoughts on headship. With the Education Reform Act, Local Management of Schools and the enormously increased role of school governors, to say nothing of the National Curriculum, headteachers today face an exceptionally difficult and complex task. The heads in this book run schools both large and small; urban, rural and suburban; with and without ethnic minority pupils. The heads themselves are of widely differing ages, cultures and backgrounds. Each presents a fascinating account of their school and its community, details of the management of their school, the organization of learning, the relationships between head, staff, pupils and parents and, most important of all, their own unique and personal reflections on headship. It is the companion volume to The Secondary Head, by the same editors.

Download or read book Primary Heads written by Bill Laar and published by Crown House Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-30 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Primary Heads contains lessons on leadership from a group of highly successful primary head teachers. The book starts with an overview of current thinking on good leadership practice and then takes the reader through the personal stories of 12 head teachers who have, sometimes in the face of extraordinary adversity, transformed their schools. Each has a very personal view on what it has taken for them to succeed and what successful leadership in primary schools should look like. Bill then draws out the key elements from their accounts and details how primary schools and primary heads can create the best possible environment for learning by concentrating on the identified aspects of exceptional leadership. This detailed translation of theories into notably successful practice, presented through the personal accounts of a group of outstanding head teachers, will have a particular resonance for practitioners engaged in the challenging business of education today. Stories of achievement by the successful are not always a source of inspiration or comfort for other teachers, who may search in vain for evidence of the difficulties and adversity they encounter in their own work or possible solutions to them. These clear and honest accounts, however, explore the subject of effective leadership in a way that makes them essential reading for all those, from head teacher to the least experienced staff, who bear responsibility, in varying degrees, for the management and direction of primary schools. The book will be relevant, too, for administrators, school governors and those involved in teacher training and continuing professional development
