Heads' college builds for future

未來校長培訓機構的建立

What is the collective noun for head teachers? An assembly? Or maybe there isn't one because head teachers are solitary creatures and you never see them together.

什麼是校長？一群人？或者，也許不是，因為校長是孤獨的創造者，你永遠不會看到他們一群人在一起。

And this can be a problem for heads, working in isolation, facing huge responsibilities with not much in the way of peer group support.

這就是一個校長的問題，工作孤立的，面臨著巨大的責任，沒有太多的同儕團體的支持。

Everyone says that head teachers are vital to improving standards - but how can they be given training and motivation?

大家都說校長是改進標準的關鍵 - 但是他們要如何得到培訓和動機？

The National College for School Leadership was set up to provide this support and professional development for heads and senior staff.

建立國立的校長培訓機構去提供這種支持和專業發展給校長和高階職員。

And next month the education secretary will formally open its newly-built, ? 8m headquarters at Nottingham.

下個月教育部長將會正式開放在諾丁漢新修造的總部。

The leadership college, which has been running in the University of Nottingham for two years, is claimed as the only such national institution in the world.

校長培訓機構已經在諾丁漢運作兩年了，這號稱是唯一的國立校長培訓機構。
