The unit will begin by conceptualising strategic human resource management in educational settings and the relationships between organisational goals and the management of people within them. Subsequent sessions will focus on key features of managing people in educational settings, including: recruitment and selection; induction of new staff; mentoring and coaching for personal development; interpersonal skills and communication; appraisal and performance management; team work; negotiation and conflict management; ethical dimensions of managing people; and continuing professional development. Issues of gender, ethnicity and the importance of different cultural and organisational contexts will be considered throughout.
