The National Professional Qualification for Headship: The Key to Effective School Leadership?

Bush, Tony

School Leadership & Management, v18 n3 p321-33 Aug 1998

The Teacher Training Agency's National Professional Qualification for Headship is a (nearly mandatory) initiative leading to a threshold qualification for headship. This article examines NPQH, contrasting it with recent school management provision history in England and Wales and with international practice. With modifications, NPQH may contribute substantially to preparing tomorrow's administrators. (29 references) (MLH)
