Leadership 55 is Haringey Education Partnership's popular webinar, where special guests discuss key leadership issues in their field. Hosted by John Tomsett, erstwhile headteacher of Huntington Research School, in its first two seasons the webinar attracted a host of educational experts.
Tomsett's curiosity teases out gems of advice from the likes of Professors Becky Allen & Dylan Wiliam, Alex Quigley and Bennie Kara. To conclude the webinars, the host contributes his own nuggets of wisdom formed during 30 years of leading schools.
This book captures both the essence of each special guest interview along with Tomsett's sage reflections. There is indispensable advice on a range of issues, from the complexities of assessment, to coping with the loneliness of leading a school, to diversifying the curriculum.
And why call it Leadership 55? Well, the conversations are about leadership and each webinar is exactly 55 minutes long!
