Chapter 1 in full: Leadership and supervision
41% of the exam, about 31 questions. These are its key points, as in the guide.
- The guide's table gives the five standards 4, 6, 6, 9 and 6 questions (6.25.1 to 6.25.5).
- A strategic plan spans years and sets the vision and aims; the operational plan turns it into yearly programmes.
- In environmental analysis, opportunities and threats are external; strengths and weaknesses are internal.
The rest of chapter 1, on this page
- A remedial strategy uses an external opportunity to fix an internal weakness, as one of the guide's sample questions shows.
- Transformational leadership builds shared motivation through an inspiring mission and values centred on the common good.
- The clinical supervision cycle: pre-observation conference, observation, analysis, post-observation conference.
- Differentiated supervision matches the path to need: intensive for the novice, cooperative for capable peers, self-directed for the expert.
- Johari window: disclosure shrinks the hidden area and feedback shrinks the blind area, so the open area grows.
- Microteaching: a short teaching episode on one skill with a few students, then feedback and a re-teach.
- An effective conference starts with specific evidence, involves the teacher in the analysis and ends with one agreed goal.
Common mistakes in this chapter
- Giving the strategic plan the features of the operational plan (one year, visit dates, programme owners).
- Mixing up transformational leadership (an inspiring mission, shared values, focus on the end goal) with transactional leadership (reward for performance).
- Assuming circulars and formal authority are enough to change practice; the standard ties change to influence, persuasion and involvement.
- Rolling out a change to every school at once without a pilot or impact measure.
- Choosing a group method (a bulletin or general workshop) for one teacher's practical problem; the better fit is a visit with a conference before and after.
- Rating errors: the halo effect (one impression spreading to every item), central tendency, leniency and severity.
