Product reviews for Primary Heads

This is an excellent resource for all teachers who are contemplating moving into management and leadership of a school. Bill Laar has extensive experience of the realities and positive response of promoting effective and motivational leadership. He extends his experience by recounting easily read and inspirational accounts by eleven other heads who have found personal success and recognition by implementing successful leadership skills. The translation of what you hope to happen and the challenges faced in the pursuit of change are all clearly expressed in the sections by Andrew Carter, John Foley and Lois Crane, giving the reader additional skills to avoid being intimidated by a range of challenges associated with leadership. This is a stimulating read for all teachers who are reluctant to move into “leadership roles” to gain the skills and confidence to promote their vision to raise the aspirations and achievement of all learners at a range of levels and promote a harmonious school community.
