Miss Penzer on Teacher's TV
Miss Penzer stars in new Teacher's TV show! Don't worry - she's not leaving!
Against the backdrop of a recruitment crisis, Jo Owen - entrepreneur, author and business speaker - returns to Teachers TV with a new series looking at the demands of the top job in education. Across this four-part series, Jo puts three deputy heads and an assistant headteacher through their paces, to see if they have what it takes to reach the next step on the career ladder.
Synopsis
Jo Owen visits Emma Penzer, an experienced deputy head at Down Community Primary School in Hackney, to find out if she has what it takes to become a headteacher.
Emma is already working to capacity. Concerned about her work/life balance she is wary of taking on the added workload and responsibility that headship would bring.
For inspiration, Jo sends Emma to spend a day with a charismatic leader. Award-winning architect Angela Brady has been running her successful business for 20 years whilst balancing the demands of children and home life.
Will a day spent with Angela prompt Emma to reconsider her journey to headship? To find out, Emma sits before a carefully selected panel of education experts chosen from governing bodies, industry recruitment and outstanding schools.
After cross-examination, the panel will decide if she has the skill as well as the will to make it.
