ABSTRACT

It is sometimes said that all teachers are managers, and even the most inexperienced teacher is responsible for managing students’ learning and behaviour in the classroom, and for managing their own work to meet students’ needs. There may be some parallels between classroom management and school management, but there are also striking differences. For the purposes of this book, a manager in education is taken to be any member of staff who has responsibility for the work of other members of staff in order to ensure effective learning and teaching in the school.
