Produktbeschreibung

Inspiring teachers, changing lives. Successful teachers teach, and good leaders lead for the love of it. Despite difficulties, most of our schools are havens of joy and good learning. This book brings together a range of perspectives from influential school leaders and others immersed in education about what's important for children, for schools and us all - and why school leadership is fascinating and exciting as well as challenging.

Well Educated demonstrates a range of independent and lively thinking from engaging education leaders and thinkers. Contributors share their principles and experiences in providing a vision for schools to develop all young people intellectually, practically and socially. The chapters cover:

• The purpose of education
• What makes a quality curriculum
• The role of examinations and assessment
• Meeting the needs of your community

With case studies and reflective questions, this will be valuable reading for all school leaders and policy-makers who want to think beyond the reductive definitions of inspection judgements to develop schools rooted in an uplifting ethos and a love of learning.
