Rezensionen

"Doing Middle Leadership Right is an honest and incredibly useful account of the roles and responsibilities of middle leaders. It is excellent that colleagues in these roles have more information and insights than they had in the past. And this book by Lyndsay Bawden, Jade Hickin and Kaley Macis-Riley is carefully evidenced and brilliantly brought to life with compelling case studies. DMLR is going to make a real difference to the knowledge and confidence of middle leader colleagues. Highly recommended."

Mary Myatt, Education adviser and Writer

"Middle Leadership is a dizzying rollercoaster ride and this book reflects that. It takes you on a whistle-stop tour of contemporary educational thinking, rich in examples

and case studies of those who are doing the job daily, and giving the reader bite-sized insights to take away and think over. For anyone new to a head of department role, this book will be helpful in making sense of the jargon and buzzwords that can bamboozle us and will hopefully help them sort out what really matters in the role from the surrounding clamour to attempt to do it all.



Doing Middle Leadership Right is written with humour and humility. The book may list three authors but their work has been supported by dozens of others who are cited throughout the work and whose ideas come together in these pages."

Mark Enser, Head of Geography and Research Lead, Author of The CPD Curriculum

"This book enters the world of education literature at exactly the right time as conversations about the need to improve middle leadership training, support and CPD abound. After all, middle leadership is a role that so many aspire to and yet so many find themselves fulfilling without training and, sadly, often without guidance. This book is thus an essential read for all - regardless of experience.

Packed with sage advice, relatable case studies and tangible action points, this is a book that I wish I'd had in those early years when beginning my middle leadership career. The authors have done an incredible job of covering every area of middle leadership; from curriculum development to flexible working, from difficult conversations to teaching and learning theory. It will challenge, reassure and inspire you in equal measure."

Kate Stockings, Head of Geography
