Under Examination

Synopsis: A course looking at the changing role of the manager and different management styles. When Head Teacher of Hurlingham and Chelsea School (UK) Michael Murphy arrived at the school, it was a post few would envy. The ‘failing’ school had narrowly escaped closure and suffered from demoralised teachers and undisciplined pupils. But with Michael Murphy taking a firm hand at the helm, the quality of education that the school provides has been transformed. By introducing business to the classroom, he has made teaching a career for his staff, rather than a vocation, with offers of performance-related pay through promotion. The pupils have noticed a change too.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
