ABSTRACT

Although subject leaders must have a good knowledge of their subject, these standards focus primarily on the expertise in the leadership and management functions. While some aspects of leadership and management are generic, others might be specific to the subject or area of work and the type of school. It is, however, through these generic issues that training and development for subject leadership will provide a good preparation in many of the management and leadership skills for those aspiring to take on broader and more senior leadership and management roles.
