Blair sends heads back to college

"There are already three initiatives in this area - the National Professional Qualification for Headship, the Headlamp scheme for new heads and the Leadership Programme for serving headteachers," he said.

他說：目前這個領域已經有三所首創的機構：中小學校長國家專業證照(the National Professional Qualification for Headship，NPQH), 新校長前導計畫(the Headlamp scheme for new heads)、現職校長領導課程(the Leadership Programme for serving headteachers，LPSH)

"There is growing evidence that teachers are now so overburdened with government initiatives that they are not able to find time to take advantage of the options which exist."

有越來越多的證據表明：教師認為現在對政府倡導的負擔過重，導致找不出時間好好的利用現有的選擇。

Headteachers' unions are broadly supporting the proposed college.

校長聯盟大致上支持學院提出來的規劃。

Other speakers at the conference included American management guru Ben Zander, the conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra who uses music as a motivational tool and who got heads to sing along with him during his two-hour slot at the conference.

在會議中的發言者包括美國管理大師Ben Zander，他是Boston交響樂團指揮，以音樂作為引起動機的工具。並在邀請一同出席會議的校長在兩個小時會議的空檔時間他一起歌唱。
