School-Centred Management Training

'This is a padding-free book, very good for managerial health; friendly enough to be read at a sitting, and with the confidence and authority to hold its place thereafter as a work of reference' - Times Educational Supplement

This handbook shows how to help staff in schools to improve their performance as managers. It offers many new ideas drawn from in-service training practice in industry and education.

The main purpose of the book is to provide guidance to school staff and professional trainers on the design, implementation and evaluation of a wide range of activities and programmes. Practical suggestions are set within a framework of principles backed by theory, research and professional experience. The author suggests how to maximize the effectiveness of learning support by centring attention on the performance of management tasks in schools.
