School Leadership - Heads on the Block? (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Most teachers become heads for idealistic reasons, but heads are leaving work and there is a shortage of applicants for school leadership roles. Arguing that pressure needs to be lifted from heads if this is to be redressed, this book considers initial moves that could precipitate such change.
