Are schools increasingly differentiating leadership from management responsibilities?
Yes: the roles of leaders and teachers have been clarified through workforce remodelling. This has included emphasising the difference between teaching, learning and business management responsibilities. Senior leaders in schools are expected to spend time considering a range of strategic leadership issues as well as operational management. This is enabled by the allowance for dedicated headship time in school teachers’ pay and conditions documents. Details of this are in the relevant section of the TDA website.
