Independent Schools Inspectorate

So. It was discussed at our weekend. Everyone knows one (or more, probably!). But is it the way forward in our professional development?

Becoming an ISI inspector seems to be, if not a step, then at least a landing on the stairway to headship! It would be of enormous interest if those of you that have been through the process could share your experiences on our weblog.

Does the process enrich your practice as an educator?
Does it alter or clarify your personal vision of school management?
Can it be worthwhile or is it better to spend your time & money on other ways of training for management?

Don't be shy, share!
