A Head Full of Ethos Zusammenfassung

A Head Full of Ethos: A holistic guide to developing and sustaining a positive school culture Armando Di-Finizio

When one or more aspects of a school's provision or curriculum breaks down, all too often the leadership team will jump from one idea to another in a bid to remedy the problem. This, however, can lead to blurred vision and possible confusion. Leaders may then wonder why the remedies aren't working and are likely to scramble for more, hopefully better, ideas. Armando Di-Finizio, however, believes that the key to success lies in the school's ethos and in the daily manifestation of its underpinning principles. A Head Full of Ethos weaves Armando's experiences and lessons learned from his 30-plus years of school leadership into an engaging illustration of the principles which have supported him in developing new ideas, as well as adopting and adapting the ideas of others, in his varied settings. In doing so, Armando explores the elements that help contribute to nurturing a positive school ethos and how to go about securing buy-in from staff in cultivating a positive teaching and learning environment for pupils and staff alike.

A Head Full of Ethos Bewertungen

Schools have always been complex organisations with a wide array of demands and needs. But our knowledge and understanding of educational and organisational processes means that there is a growing economy of 'solutions' and 'products' to help school leaders better meet those needs. However, in this honest and insightful account of school leadership over three decades working in challenging schools, Armando Di-Finizio demonstrates the importance of school ethos - the character and spirit of a school - to inform the decisions required to lead a successful school. A Head Full of Ethos will become essential reading for any established or aspiring head teacher. It complements the many 'toolkits' of school leadership that already exist by encouraging the reader to consider what kind of school ethos they hope to build. Armando argues that by developing a consistent set of values and principles across the school, this will help school leaders to prioritise decisions and make better and more complementary day-to-day decisions for their staff, pupils and wider community. He demonstrates that a clear vision and set of guiding principles is necessary to successfully navigate the wide array of policies, tools and interventions available to contemporary educationalists. Throughout the book, Armando poses numerous questions to help direct the discussion and to encourage the reader to reflect on their own experiences. It carefully navigates the various interconnected 'cogs' that Armando believes have helped him produce a strong school ethos in all the challenging schools he has led. The result is a very engaging book that will not only be of great benefit to school leaders, but will also have enormous benefits for our most vulnerable learners.Professor Chris Taylor
A Head Full of Ethos holds fast to what really matters in schools and sets out clearly how to achieve it. Armando shares his experience in a way that will be helpful to anyone who wants to run their school on truly educational principles. Full of common sense, wisdom and healthy suggestions, and with young people and their futures at its heart, this is the book to keep within reach for constant reference.Mick Waters
