THE PRACTICES OF SCHOOL MIDDLE LEADERSHIP - PET...

This book uses practice theory to examine the role of 'middle-leadership'. In particular  it
investigates the practices of 'leading in the middle' in the cultural-discursive 
material-economic  and social-political domains - i.e.  the sayings  doings and relatings of
middle leading. This perspective acknowledges the ecological arrangement of leading practices
in schools  and the necessity of considering the unavoidable reality of the site. The analysis
is used to promote the need to view leading in the middle as a form of praxis - a morally and
ethically informed practice that requires thoughtful decision-making and action in situations
where the outcomes are not always clear. This book focuses on the practice of leading for those
in 'middle management' positions in primary and secondary schools  such as those responsible
for curriculum leadership  including senior teachers  assistant principals  and curriculum
leaders. In their positions that bridge 'management' and 'the classroom' they are significant
leaders in promoting and sustaining effective pedagogy for good learning outcomes  and they
have to continue to provide high-quality teaching in their own classrooms  while simultaneously
being a mentor  coach  supporter and evaluator for their colleagues.
