Teachers run rooms, and leaders run schools. But schools are much more than just rooms in a row, and running them is a complex business. And if the behaviour isn't right, then nothing else is. Which makes it vital that leaders are trained to manage behaviour at the institutional level, but too many have to reinvent the wheel for themselves. No more. Using his experience of visiting over 1200 schools in 16 countries, Tom has distilled the wisdom of hundreds of experts into this concise guide to creating the culture of a school so that all students - and staff - flourish: Running the School.
