Practical preparation for a first school leadership post

John C. Daresh and Trevor Arrowsmith organize this guide around the transition into school leadership, including the practical and managerial demands that can confront new headteachers and deputies. Case studies, checklists, a personal leadership checklist, and guidance on portfolios and action plans give the book a hands-on structure. It also addresses the path from assistant or deputy roles into leadership and the development of self-awareness as part of leading a school. The emphasis is on preparing an individual approach to the role and reflecting on the challenges of its early years.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Newly appointed headteachers and deputy headteachers seeking practical support for the transition into leadership.
  • Teachers aspiring to school leadership who want to consider the responsibilities and challenges of the role.
  • Those involved in school leadership development or training looking for case studies and planning tools.
