File format and size: PDF, 387 Kb

This publication offers practical guidance for people working in schools who have a role in developing new leaders. Drawing on good practice from schools in a range of contexts and phases, and a local authority, it aims to encourage leaders to reflect on their schools' existing practices and help them to devise new approaches to improve leadership development in their schools.

It sets out:

  • the practical steps that schools and a local authority have taken to identify and grow leaders
  • how they have contributed to individual leaders' development and school improvement
  • how school leaders can develop similar practices in their own schools and contexts.

It offers a number of case studies that are centred around mentoring and coaching, emergent leaders leading whole-school improvements and collaborative approaches to development. It also provides some tips about your own next steps.
