From Principle to Practice: Evidence-Informed Leadership – Book Launch
Join us to celebrate the launch of our new book From Principle to Practice: Evidence-Informed Leadership!
Do you struggle to find time to prioritise your professional development?
The From Principle to Practice series from the Chartered College of Teaching will support career-long development for all teachers, leaders and mentors. These short, useful and research-packed guides draw on the professional principles that underpin all pathways to Chartered Status, a professional accreditation that recognises the knowledge, skills and behaviours of highly accomplished educators.
The first book, Evidence-informed Leadership, is the essential companion for busy school leaders wishing to continually develop their leadership practices in line with the dynamic needs of their schools and staff.
This first book aims to support senior leaders, headteachers and those working in leadership roles across multiple schools. The book is divided into two parts: Professional knowledge, including chapters on pedagogy, curriculum and assessment; and Professional practice, including chapters on inclusive culture, supporting systems and school development. This book is published by Hachette Learning.
Join us in celebrating the launch of the book by taking a look and exploring the chapters with our authors to discover how this can help to shape your leadership journey.
