Managing Pastoral Care
Pastoral care provision in schools has become increasingly marginalized in recent years. However, emphasis on the needs of the "whole learner" has become ever greater. Coupled with this is a growing recognition of theadverse effects of a wider social malaise on the development of students. This book stresses the need for a radical rethink and reprioritizing of pastoral support. It promotes the belief that pastoral care can contribute to and improve academic achievement, and analyzes every aspect of pastoral care and PSE.
Supervising and Supporting Ministry Staff
Surveys of pastoral staff repeatedly show that senior or supervising pastors consistently rate their working relationships with their associate staff members higher than do the associate staff members. Satisfaction levels follow similar patterns. In many cases, supervisors are not aware of or attentive to the concerns of their staff, and yet, these staff members are critical to the success of the church. Supervising and Supporting Ministry Staff is a research-based guide to the senior/associate staff relationship that is filled with real-life stories and practical advice to help readers negotiate their staff relationships successfully. The book focuses not only on the business mechanics of the supervisor/supervisee relationship, but also the full experiences of the associate staff, including emotional and spiritual needs. This helpful resource addresses congregations of all sizes across denominations and discusses a range or supervisor/supervisee relationship types.

The Pastoral and the Academic
One of the most widespread changes in secondary schools over the last thirty years has been the expansion and formalization of pastoral care. However, despite the considerable personnel resources invested in it, this tends to be a neglected area of curriculum theory and research. Through an empirically based analysis of pastoral care in the comprehensive school, this book looks at the history and discourse of pastoral care. Using data from two case-study schools, it explores the tense relationship between the pastoral and academic dimensions, and the significance of this tension for the educational identities of staff and pupils. In particular, it considers whether pastoral interventions empower students or represent more subtle forms of social control. In conclusion, the implications of recent reforms for the future of pastoral care within the comprehensive school are assessed.
