Can a teacher with management responsibilities, such as a head of department or head of year, become an AST?
Yes, although the DCSF recommends that ASTs do not hold management responsibilities so that they can concentrate on their new role. However, the AST role can include curriculum and pedagogic leadership, and we recommend that wherever possible ASTs should be part of, or have access to, the senior management team in order to bring teaching and learning issues to the fore.
