Abstract
Middle management in school is one of the most critical. The manager acts as a conduit between teachers and the principal. With this in mind, this chapter presents some of the problems encountered by Heads of Department and Deans at a secondary school in North-East Trinidad. A purposive sample of three heads of departments and two deans responded to open-ended interview questions on the issues they face. A conventional content analysis determined that the themes were professional development; varying management/leadership styles; lack of senior management support; and poor communication. Demographic information indicated that the participants were 45-58 years old with 20 to 30 years' service. Recommendations are made for a more extensive study to be conducted.
