About this ebook

Based upon Gerald Haigh’s acclaimed weekly column in the Times Educational Supplement, this book is a lively and refreshing look at what it takes to get on in teaching.

Touching on everything from the legacy of Ted Wragg to the film Brokeback Mountain the author’s incise eye will give teachers wanting to get on in their career both inspiration and much to ponder upon.

This reworked and thematically grouped collection will give leaders and aspiring leaders in education vital insights and observations into a wide range of topics including:

  • the recruitment game and building your career
  • dealing with people, making mistakes and learning
  • lessons from Heroes and Gurus – from Tom Peters and Peter Drucker to Lawrence of Arabia
  • supporting colleagues
  • getting a life beyond school.
