Developing Middle Leadership (CPD Video: 45min)

Description

Speaker: Tim Nelson

The consultants here at Focus Education have prepared a range of short CPD videos on current and relevant themes. These videos are great starters for any staff meeting or twilight session. Pause, rewind and share with staff in your school.

This video training provides senior leaders with an overview of Ofsted expectations of middle leadership, especially subject leaders, within the deep-dive process. It also summarises recent research into middle leadership from the perspective of primary schools. It is suitable for senior leaders to watch together with middle leaders to prompt discussion about support and development.

The training covers the key aspects of the middle leadership role, helping to identify relevant support and training for subject and phase leaders to ensure they effectively impact their roles.

Middle leadership is a key focus of inspections, so this video training is very helpful for schools preparing for Ofsted.

The training addresses the following:

• What are the starting points for a middle leader and what does the research show us?
• What are the different aspects of the role?
• What kinds of questions can our subject leaders expect from Ofsted?
• What are the implications for inspection?

Benefits of the training video:

• It will provide you with a clear understanding of the role of a middle leader underpinned by research.
• It will help you prioritise your work and help develop middle leadership capacity in your setting.
• It will provide a greater understanding of middle leadership and how this fits into the bigger picture of school leadership and the inspection process.
