Product reviews for Making The Leap

As a recently appointed head teacher, this is the book I wish I had read before I took up the post - or even before I started applying! It is rooted in extensive research from Jill's doctorate and the chapters are packed with real-life examples of the challenges, opportunities and unexpected twists and turns of the transition to headship. Even better, it shows how others have responded to these, providing ready-made solutions! Each chapter also has really helpful reflection points; the questions are invaluable in helping you apply the experience of others to your own context. In short, this is a must-read for anyone, at any stage of their career, who might be considering headship in the future. It should convince you, in Dr Berry's words, that it is a journey well worth taking.
