Walking the Tightrope? The Role of Teacher Governors.

Earley, Peter; Creese, Michael

School Leadership & Management, v20 n4 p475-87 Nov 2000

Draws upon empirical data from a random sample of 150 secondary and 350 elementary schools in England to consider how teacher governors perceive their role and explore areas viewed as problematic. Effective supervisors generally incorporate positive elements of three other supervisory styles: minimalist, watchdog, and communication-link. (MLH)
