  The head of department's role in maximising student achievement is central to the pocketbook. This involves developing a climate for effective learning, working with individual students, target-setting and working with parents. Team management is another key issue. The authors give advice on recruiting and selecting staff, building a team spirit, managing meetings, performance management, problem-solving, delegation and making the most of training opportunities.
