  • What else is on my mind?

What else is on my mind? Common Q&A addressed

1. How much time will subject leadership really take?

Using learning conversations means you gather large amounts of knowledge about your subject across the school - quickly!

2. I'm new to post - what do I do first?

New to post? This will walk you through your first year or more, step by step to become an expert.

3. I'm in a small school with 2-3 subjects. Help!

Subject leaders in small schools can carry a significant workload. This will help you to be organised and manage different subjects at the same time.

4. I'm in a large school with a subject team - what can I expect them to do?

In larger schools there are often opportunities to build teams around subjects. As the subject leader, you need to lead the team, and the subject!

5. I need to know about my subject in EYFS and I've never taught them.

Every subject leader needs to know the origins of their subject in EYFS (and nursery if you have one). This is how you can gain this understanding easily.

6. How do I deal with 'difficult' conversations?

The learning conversation avoids disagreement and conflict, but tackles the core issues of teaching and learning and how to improve them.

7. How do I demonstrate my impact as a subject leader?

As a leader it is vital that you can evidence and explain your own impact - on the curriculum, on teaching and learning outcomes across the school. Here's how.

8. I'm a SENCO. Which parts of this process can I use?

Most of the subject leader resources are directly relevant to SENCOs too. They will help you understand, evaluate and influence your colleagues' practice with and impact on pupils with SEND.

9. I'm trying to influence colleagues but it isn't working. What else can I do?

Influencing colleagues to adapt their practice isn't always easy. By going deeper into the learning conversation we can help colleagues evaluate their own impact and decide the next steps they need to take for their pupils.

10. I'm applying for a promoted post. How much more is expected of me?

If you have recently taken a promoted post, or if you are applying for one, you'll be wondering what else is expected of you. This is what you need to find out.
