This handbook is the second in a series of publications which aim to provide teachers and school leaders with the structure and resources to develop various strands of student leadership in their school. The first publication, 'Supporting students as researchers: making a difference to your school', explores how teachers can enable students to communicate their views about learning and teaching and to take an active role in the school improvement process. This publication, Supporting the growth of students as leaders: a student/teacher partnership approach, continues to support students as active participants in leading learning within their school, developing and deepening their ability to influence policy and practice. This handbook provides resources to support practice that enables students to exercise leadership by, for example, leading lessons, observing lessons and developing the curriculum.
