This episode looks at the skills, traits and approaches that effective middle leaders need to employ in the secondary school environment and offers practical advice, tips and reflections from three practising middle leaders.
We discuss how to work with and lead your teaching colleagues, how to manage tricky colleagues, how to work with those who are more experienced than you, and how we can best support struggling colleagues.
We also look at communication, maintaining professional boundaries, workload and team morale, career progression, CPD, developing your team, and developing a culture of mutual trust – among other areas.
