Introduction to Subject Leadership
Focus: Leadership and Management
For: Subject Leaders and Teachers, HLTAs, interested TAs
Description:
This session is designed to develop knowledge of the role of the subject leader and how to lead a subject effectively in a primary school.
The session will focus on the following questions:
- What is the role of the Subject Leader?
- What does effective subject leadership look like?
- What is the cycle for school improvement?
- Where will you start?
We will consider priority actions and next steps to support the development of effective subject leaders as they begin this important role.
Director’s Note:
We’ve scheduled this as twilight CPDF to enable easy integration into your staff meeting schedule. An excellent opportunity for all teachers to access high-quality CPDF at no extra cost. This session offers valuable insights for experienced subject leaders while supporting those new to the role, particularly when addressing the challenges of leading without formal positional authority. For teachers who are not in leadership positions, the session provides understanding of effective collaboration and how to contribute meaningfully to whole-school development.
