Noun Phrase

Text consists of several sentences and paragraphs. Sentences also consist of words
as the smallest element. However, words only function as an element to make up
a higher construction called phrase. Thus, a sentence is not only a stretch of
words but also a stretch of phrases. In consequence, sentence meaning is not only
dependent on word meaning but also phrase meaning. To get the sentence
meaning more accurately, readers should also recognize phrases construction and
its meaning.

What makes my school a good training ground for leadership development?

The perceptions of heads, middle leaders and classroom teachers from primary
and secondary schools in England

Christopher Rhodes (School of Education, University of Birmingham, UK)

Mark Brundrett (Faculty of Education, Liverpool John Moores University, UK)

A. Part 1.
This article reports outcomes from a study funded by the National College
for School Leadership. The study was designed to explore leadership talent
identification, development, succession and retention in different primary and
secondary schools in England. It makes up a large project and offers evidence not
seen before elsewhere. It deals specifically with issues on the leadership
development of existing staff in response to the increasing reports of leadership
shortages and falling numbers of applicants for leadership posts in the school
sector (Ward, 2004; Howson, 2005; Brundrett et al., 2006; Shaw, 2006). In
response to this leadership crisis, a new and urgent interest in leadership
succession planning and its management has emerged within the United
Kingdom (Rhodes and Brundrett, 2005; NCSL, 2006a, 2006b).
Succession management incorporates the idea of creating and
maintaining a pool of leadership talent by identifying individuals with talent,
helping them to develop and fostering their retention either within individual

schools or within the profession as a whole (Rhodes and Brundrett, 2006). The
linkage between leadership succession planning and the leadership development
of current staff is well established in commercial contexts (Hirsch, 2000; Conger
and Fulmer, 2003; Rothwell, 2005). In view of a leadership supply crisis, fostering
leadership development as part of succession management has now become
equally important within individual schools and good leadership development
may be seen as an aid to necessary leadership succession planning. In educational
contexts, leadership skill development has been associated with mechanisms such
as coaching (Rhodes et al., 2004), networking (Hadfield et al., 2002; Jackson,
2003) and the distribution of leadership responsibilities (Harris, 2003, 2004). It
has been suggested that leadership learners benefit from a variety of learning
approaches (Paterson and Coleman, 2003) and that they are best served by being
enabled to become self-directed in their leadership learning (Weindling, 2003).
