English for School Administrators

Schools can be run, led, administered and governed and the differences are not always clear. In small schools, one person may perform all these functions, while in large schools and school corporations, several people may be responsible for all or even for each. While these functions are interesting to review, the English involved is both general and specialised. These Advanced English sessions develop and extend the English of, for and about school administration. 

Prior to each session, participants may be sent an audio, written or visual text concerning an aspect of the general topic for review. During the session, we review the text for meaning (contents) and language, and depending on time, we discuss the relevance of the text to the participants' schools and realities.

Previous session titles have included :

• What is School Administration?
• Administration v management
• The role and function of a school bursar (known in some schools as Business Managers or Administrative Vice-Principals)
• Language and format of a position announcement (or "job ad")
• Income
• Expenditures
• Diversifying Your Income Streams
• Human Resources
• Compensation
• Collaboration
• Planning
• Accreditation

More titles in the series are added regularly. Ask us about the off-the-shelf sessions above, or about specific sessions relevant to your school and your reality. Ask us about our coaching and critical friend support for school leaders and administrators.
