Author Bio:
In the late 1990s, after two frustrating and unsatisfying years as a newly qualified English teacher, Andy Hunter accepted that his career in education was a failed experiment and resigned to explore other options.
Six months later, he took what he intended to be a week of supply work at a different school, fell in love with it and has never looked back.
The schools in which he has worked, in areas ranging from London boroughs to rural Cambridgeshire, represent a variety of circumstances and needs. A veteran of Ofsted and HMI inspections numbering well into double figures, Andy has experience of school improvement at every Ofsted grading.
Andy loves being on duty, talking to children and delivering assemblies. He also loves sailing, canoeing, hill walking and jazz. The A-Z of Secondary Leadership is his first book
The A-Z of Secondary Leadership
By Andy Hunter
School leadership is the best job in the world, despite being frustrating, exhausting and at times utterly bamboozling. We are required to change our focus frequently and immediately, planning for the next five years one minute, dealing with the next five seconds the next.
We manage multi-million-pound budgets and we pick up crisp packets. We live a life of constant contrasts, meeting hurtling deadlines, solving inscrutable riddles, experiencing profound joy and also heartbreaking disappointment.
From time to time, we look up from our work and realise how very privileged we are to work in such an important, rewarding, valuable role.
The A-Z of Secondary Leadership considers how we approach leadership in secondary schools, from the moment of arrival in a new post to the exploration of further possibilities.
It covers creating a culture, recruiting and retaining the best staff, encouraging cognitive diversity, working with stakeholders, leading in the community and, perhaps most importantly, how to look after yourself as you take on a very challenging role.
Combining broad knowledge of the education system with a clear-headed assessment of the challenges faced by schools and some practical tips for successful leadership, this book is essential reading for aspiring, recently appointed and more experienced secondary school leaders.
It is filled with pragmatism, humour, energy and advice. Taking a detailed yet down-to-earth approach to leadership theory and practice, Andy Hunter considers the various demands placed upon secondary school leaders and shares the insights and experiences that he has gained on his journey from supply teacher to executive head.

Responsive Coaching
Evidence-informed instructional coaching that works for every teacher in your school
By Josh Goodrich
Great teachers make a huge difference to students' lives. Helping them to improve throughout their career is vital. But how can we best do this? Multiple studies suggest that Instructional Coaching - a school-centred approach to developing teachers - is one of the best bets we have. However, to make the most of Instructional Coaching, we must be clear about what it means. Many writers disagree about this, proposing different definitions and methods. In Responsive Coaching, Josh Goodrich examines contrasting Instructional Coaching models, combining research and practical experience to build an approach that adapts to meet the needs of individual teachers. This enables coaches to flex their style depending on where a teacher is on their journey towards expertise.

Imperfect Leadership
A book for leaders who know they don't know it all
By Michael Fullan, Steve Munby
In Imperfect Leadership Steve Munby eloquently reflects upon and describes a leadership approach that is strong on selfawareness and positive about the importance of asking for help.
When asked to describe his own leadership style, Steve Munby former chief executive of the National College for School Leadership uses the word imperfect. This is not something he is ashamed of; he feels imperfect leadership should be celebrated. Too often we are given examples of leaders who are put on some kind of pedestal, lauded as superhero leaders who have it all worked out and are so good at what they do that nobody else can come close. This book is the antidote to that flawed perception.
Imperfect Leadership is an honest reflection upon leadership. It is about Steves journey, covering his highs and lows and, ultimately, how he learned to refine and improve his leadership. It is about messy, trial-and-error, butterflies-in -the-stomach leadership and about thoughtful and invitational leadership and the positive impact it can have. Here, his story and insights are wrapped around edited highlights of the 12 keynote speeches that sit at the heart of the book, all made between 2005 and 2017 to a large audience of school leaders.

Being, Knowing, Doing
By Stephen Tierney
In an increasingly frenetic world too many leaders have lost sight of the simple yet profound wisdom associated with practical action, otherwise known as phronesis. Phronesis is an ancient Greek word associated with good judgement and good character. At its core, it is about the ability to discern how best to act. Practical wisdom involves acting thoughtfully and virtuously and encouraging others to do the same. Stephen Tierney describes virtue, thought and action - which coalesce in effective leadership - as the Way of Being, Way of Knowing and Way of Doing.

Learning from Neurodivergent Leaders
How to Start, Survive and Thrive in Leadership
By Nancy Doyle
Neurodivergent people are so often thwarted in academic and corporate careers because we don't know the unwritten social codes of large organisations, and because we struggle with entry level tasks even though we excel at strategic thinking.
Neurodivergent thinking is conversely overrepresented in sole traders and entrepreneurs. Many of us embark on our own thing because we struggle with the admin and social niceties of the workplace, but as we succeed, we find ourselves exposed to the same issues in our own businesses, industries or influencing circles.
This book is full of essential advice on the how of leadership, as well as guidance for avoiding common pitfalls and taking care of well-being
