The Real World Management Preoccupations of Primary School Heads.

Jones, Norah

School Leadership & Management, v19 n4 p483-95 Nov 1999

The primary school headteachers' role has changed considerably since Britain's Education Reform Act (1988). A 2- year study of 12 Welsh principals disclosed key issues: increased managerial responsibility; changing deputy headteacher roles; parental involvement/social-worker emphases; relations with school governors; stress and overload; professional support; and advisor roles. (Contains 34 references.) (MLH)
