You still do your best by your classes, but it isn't the only thing you're concentrating on as a senior leader. You're trying to work through ALL staff (teaching and support) to reach more pupils in all areas, not just your curricular area. When I taught as a head it was about getting to know individual pupils, and them getting to know me - it wasn't primarily about English (my subject) any more.<br /><br />Happy to talk this through with you when we meet.<br /><br />Best wishes to Diane. I don't think I've actually met Natasha yet, though hope to do one day!

My main dilemma is that moving to senior management might dilute my science work.

It might help you clarify your thinking about the future?<br /><br />I hope 2015 is a positive year for you, at home and at school.Jill Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07968197362738941523noreply@blogger.com
