Frank and Stan Chat SPOTLIGHT No.6

The next SPOTLIGHT Edition considers a recent blog written by Mark Innes, Dr Elizabeth Gregory and Dr Lisa Murtagh on the apparent marketisation of professional leadership qualifications. The three academics published a BERA piece to explains the development of national leadership programmes and how they have shifted through the DfE's control into six NPQs provided by nine lead providers. Their blog initially 'focused on job adverts which demonstrated how government policy had enriched a handful of densely networked players, put others in potentially precarious positions, and impoverished teacher development'. It's a cracking discussion which reflects on the lucrative market and the concerns about a 'golden thread' approach. The researchers are keen to hear from colleagues who have completed the various programmes to discover how useful they have been. Contact details are below:[email protected]@[email protected].
