 welshskyline:There are still many managerial opportunities in the world of FE, regardless of what alexander might think.
But significantly less than in schools. The only managerial job I would be in the frame for in my college would be my manager's. Schools offer greater opportunities for progression because they have two parallel management structures; the academic and the pastoral. They also offer many other paid opportunities through the system of TLRs. A concept of progression that doesn't exist in colleges. In my last school out of a department of 11 only 2 colleagues didn't have a paid managerial responsibility (HoD, two Seconds, three key stage subject leaders, an AST, an assistant year head, and a work placement coordinator), all on a minimum of a £2.5k uplift. The fact that the loss of a timetable is often used by colleges as a reward for taking managerial responsibility unfortunately often leads to those who cannot teach becoming managers.
