Subject leadership and developing a broad and balanced curriculum are current and crucial areas in any school or academy. This session is designed to look at what works in subject leadership to support teachers in the practical aspects of their everyday roles.
A key focus will be to consider what makes subject leaders effective in leading and managing. There will be suggestions as to what subject leaders might do in their work with colleagues and how they might do this. Subject monitoring will be another key consideration. The course will also direct delegates to consider manageable and time efficient approaches, including delegation and collaboration.
