What do great leaders need to do to run great schools? This exciting new book from Jo Facer takes the theory, ideas, and vision that so many leaders share and translates it into the small steps that busy school leaders can take that together lead to big positive changes.

Exploring the three cornerstones of a great education – behaviour, curriculum, and teaching – as well as the oft-neglected operations, the book outlines the theory and what best practice looks like in each area and then reveals the leadership actions that enable schools to get there. Each chapter also features real case studies from school leaders who explain how they have implemented the ideas and the impact they have had in their settings.

Full of practical, sustainable ideas to implement in the short and long term, this is essential reading for all leaders in primary and secondary schools.
