Yep. Salary isnt to bad once you have been doing it a while. I wonder how the whole package compares though.

Former chair of school governors + provided consultancy and senior mgt/leadership training to various local authorities including education departments.

The key is that good teachers don't necessarily make the best leaders/managers.

And with that, I'll back out gracefully.

Oh I won't don't worry about that. Not with my dyslexia and poor grammar skills.

Did you get paid for stating the bleeding obvious, whilst not answering the question?

I don't think he's pushing the envelope at all AA.

I would start by ensuring every school had a change manager advising the head-teacher or maybe just replacing the head teacher.

The Change Manager should have an assistant though and they should have a secretary.

Currently SLT, all of my colleagues either have MA's in educational leadership or MBAs, I would be doing MBA in addition to my MA but I am currently working on qualifying as an ofsted inspector. Also been an LA appointed governor sent in to support struggling governing bodies! I am alsoqualified with EQR to carry out reviews of 6th form colleges and report to their SLT and corporation.

Please don't assume that all those who elect to go for SLT get there on the basis of long service. In addition to an intensive 2 day interview I had psychometric tests and prelim interviews by the recruitment consultancy before I got this job.

Shall I step back quietly now and shall we work on the assumption that both of us have expertise?

It turns out I don't have to worry about any fines, just asked permission and the extra time off was granted ๐Ÿ™‚

I wonder how many of the people who think that their kids are super advanced, actually are. Also if they don't do as well as expected I wonder if it's the schools fault that little Timmy isn't as bright as he should be....

Or maybe different people have different priorities and ideas about what they want their kids to learn and get out of life?

If your priorities conflict with those of the state education system, then you have alternatives.
