Beskrivning
Too many of our state schools have become scared, soulless places. John Tomsett draws on his extensive experience and knowledge and calls for all those involved in education to find the courage to develop a leadership-wisdom which emphasises love over fear. Creating a truly great school takes patience. Ultimately, truly great schools don't suddenly exist. You grow great teachers first, who, in turn, grow a truly great school.There is a huge fork in the road for head teachers: one route leads to executive headship across a number of schools and the other takes head teachers back into the classroom to be the head teacher. John strongly believes that if the head teacher is not teaching, or engaged in helping others to improve their teaching, in their school, then they are missing the point. The only thing head teachers need obsess themselves with is improving the quality of teaching, both their colleagues' and their own.This Much I Know about Love Over Fear is an authentic personal narrative of teaching, leadership and discovering what really matters. It gets to the heart of what is valuable in education and offers advice for those working in schools.Also by John Tomsett: This Much I Know about Mind Over Matter, ISBN 9781785831683.

Recensioner i media

"It isn't often that a book on education could be described as moving but 'This Much I Know about Love Over Fear' by John Tomsett is just that. As one of the nation's most successful school leaders, John both passes on some of the wisdom he has learned from his years in teaching and combines it with a narrative about his life and his family. His commitment to the moral purpose of education shines through. His gratitude for the role education played in his own life is reflected in his uncompromising belief that nothing should get in the way of providing the same life changing opportunity for today's generation of young people. The book is both a testament to the importance of good teachers and a wealth of good advice about how to do the job. It is a pleasure to read and a source of invaluable advice." Baroness Estelle Morris, Former Secretary of State for Education
