3. Professional Development- Middle Leadership Matters: For any middle leaders who would like to consider developing their leadership skills in 2018 you might be interested in the 20 week course with CoreEd. More information about the course can be found HERE. If you are interested in developing in your Middle Leader role please consider this course for 2018 and see BLS.
As part of your professional reading as a Middle Leader, Joanne Robson and Martin Bassett have just released an article through the Journal of Open, Flexible and Distance learning. The Two Towers: The Quest for Appraisal and Leadership Development of Middle Leaders Online.
