EduKIT: Mind the Gap: A Model for Effective Middle Leadership

James Lewis-Coll is a Secondary Mathematics Specialist and Associate Adviser for Mathematics for the Central South Consortium (CSC) in Wales. He provides bespoke support to schools and collaborates with School Improvement Partners, planning  and providing professional development for a range of stakeholders. He collaborates with the CSC Curriculum Team to develop teaching and learning materials.

James previously worked as Assistant Director of Initial Teacher Training at a large school in Shropshire.

Through his work in supporting a school to address the quality of middle leadership in Mathematics, James developed guidance which has subsequently been extended for use by all middle leaders, providing a strong generic structure with associated questions for reflection and bringing about consistency across the school.

In this EduKIT James will explain his approach to coaching and supporting middle leaders and how he developed this framework. This will then open up to general discussion of how we ensure that this crucial element of school leadership is supported, developed and challenged.
