Expectations placed on middle management have risen sharply in the last few years and their increased importance in the role of managing and developing others have been reflected in the new Teacher Training Authority (TTA) Subject Leader Standards. Consequently, the role of subject leader is one which necessitates careful preparation and development. Written in line with these Standards in an accessible style and format, this book supports INSET courses and days designed to develop the essential management skills required by secondary subject leaders; provides support for the Head of Department in developing an mor systematic approach to the management of an effective department; provides useful information for aspiring Heads of Department and Senior Managers who are endeavouring to improve the performance of middle management in their schools.
