* Plan a career in middle management, including coverage of the skills and experience required
* Make the application and prepare for the interview
* Tackle the first few weeks in the role
* Develop a vision for the curriculum
* Line manage your team and be line managed
* Assess the potential of staff, including guidance on recruitment and interviewing techniques
