The head of an academic department in a college of advanced education is responsible for a variety of activities that together contribute to the institution's educational effectiveness and quality. The ongoing professional development of heads is one of the surest ways a college can improve its academic standing. With this in mind, this paper seeks answers to a number of questions -- What are the most important tasks and responsibilities of heads? What aspects of their role do they perceive most need professional development? What form should it take? How should it be done? By whom? An analysis of the responses to a survey of 679 heads in 61 colleges of advanced education in Australia revealed some surprising results. One was the concern of heads for feedback on their own performance. The results of this survey are compared with the findings of some North American studies. Three alternative strategies for meeting the professional development needs of heads are suggested and evaluated in terms of quality, specificity and cost. |
