Book Synopsis Improving School Governance by : Nigel Gann
Download or read book Improving School Governance written by Nigel Gann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the first edition: "School governors will find this a sound and practical guide to the nature of their responsibilities and the process of managing their workload. It is well researched, based on vast experience, illustrated from the best practice, free from jargon – and always interesting." Joan Sallis. Described by the National Association of Governors and Managers as "definitely a ‘must’ for your bookshelf"; reviewed in the Times Educational Supplement as an "essential guide to help governors". This book is about governing schools – about how a governing board made up largely of ‘ordinary’ people with no professional educational experience, working in partnership with professional leaders, can help to make schools better. It is intended for governors in schools in England and Wales, in other parts of the world where lay people engage in school leadership, and for people who work with governors. Improving School Governance examines: How school governors got to be where they are today How governing boards do their jobs How individual governors can best contribute to their schools Governors’ accountability The nature of governors’ meetings The rights that governors have The relationships between governors and the headteacher The role of governing boards in school inspection Governors’ relationships with parents and the wider community How to evaluate the performance and impact of governing boards What the future might hold for state-funded schools and their governance What national strategic issues will need to be addressed by governing boards in the next five to ten years
Book Synopsis Basics for School Governors by : Joan Sallis
Download or read book Basics for School Governors written by Joan Sallis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2000-03-01 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Second edition, brought up to date in Spring 2000, and fully revised with additional information to cover new regulations. Often referred to as 'required reading' for school governors since its original publication, Joan Sallis' down-to-earth approach ensures that it is the most relevant introduction to working practices for new and recently appointed governors. School governors are overwhelmed with instructions on what they have to do. This book is different - it concentrates on helping them to do it. It gives governors a survival kit based on a clearer understanding of their role. This includes guidance on boundaries, better management of sensitive relationships, and knowledge of those rules and good practices which make for better teamwork. Joan Sallis is nationally known and respected for her writing and lecturing on school government and her weekly advice column in the TES. Above all, she is known for treating difficult issues with humanity and humour in everyday language. In 1996 she was awarded the OBE for services to education. In her role as the national president of the Campaign for State Education and as a consultant working with and on behalf of school governors for many years, Joan believes passionately that a better partnership between schools and their users offers the only hope for better funded and respected state education. She has been a governor of her local comprehensive school for many years.

Book Synopsis After The Adults Change by : Paul Dix
Download or read book After The Adults Change written by Paul Dix and published by Crown House Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a behavioural nirvana. One that is calm, purposeful and respectful. Where poor behaviour is as rare as a PE teacher in trousers and where relationships drive achievement. Annoyingly and predictably, the road is hard and the ride bumpy and littered with cliches. It is achievable though. And when you get there it is a little slice of heaven. A revolution in behaviour can be exciting, dynamic and, at times, pleasantly terrifying. But revolution is short-lived. In After the Adults Change Paul shows you that, after the behaviour of the adults (i.e. the staff) has changed, there is an opportunity to go wider and deeper: to accelerate relational practice, decrease disproportionate punishment and fully introduce restorative, informed and coaching-led cultures. Paul delves into the possibilities for improvement in pupil behaviour and teacher-pupil relationships, drawing further upon a hugely influential behaviour management approach whereby expectations and boundaries are exemplified by calm, consistent and regulated adults.
Book Synopsis Don't Send Him in Tomorrow by : Jarlath O'Brien
Download or read book Don't Send Him in Tomorrow written by Jarlath O'Brien and published by Crown House Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2016-08-04 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Don't Send Him in Tomorrow, Jarlath O'Brien shines a light on the marginalised, disenfranchised and forgotten children of today's schools. The percentage of children achieving the government's expected standard in benchmark tests is national news every year. The progress that children with learning difficulties and SEN make is never discussed, because it is not understood. That is a problem. The bone-crushing infrastructure which professionals have to negotiate is a problem. The fact that so many parents have to fight tooth and nail so that the needs of their children are met, something the rest of us would consider a basic entitlement, is a problem. This book describes how the system and can be improved if and when these marginalised children are given higher priority by the powers that be. There is a widespread lack of understanding about special schools, the work they do, and the children they educate - the sector is largely invisible. Jarlath O'Brien has become increasingly frustrated by this, and the varying quality of provision for children with learning difficulties and SEN in mainstream schools. The successes of special schools and pupil referral units in Ofsted inspections are just not celebrated or analysed in the same way that mainstream schools' are. While, mainstream schools have their hands tied by fears over progress measures. There is a human cost to the accountability culture that reduces schooling to data and judgements: this is felt most profoundly by children with SEN and their families. Jarlath shares some of the problems he's witnessed with inclusion and exclusion: mainstream schools actively encouraging children with SEN to look elsewhere, parents reporting their children have been formally or informally excluded from school and socially excluded by the parents of other children, children asked to leave their mainstream schools because of their behaviour - usually behaviour that is caused by their needs not being adequately addressed, children who are in school but isolated from their peers. If a child can't participate in activities or trips with the rest of the class, or spends much of the day working one-to-one with a teaching assistant, is this really inclusion? The Pupil Premium has been established to ensure that children in receipt of free school meals are not disadvantaged - why does something similar not exist for children with SEN? Every health and wealth indicator that you could use to measure people with learning difficulties and special educational needs (SEN) reveals something alarming. They die younger. They work less. They are more likely to live in poverty or end up in prison or face mental health difficulties. They are much more likely to be excluded from school. They are more likely to be bullied at school. This has to end. We all have to choose to commit to recognising that society, as it is today, is a difficult place for young people to thrive. When you have autism, or Down syndrome, or any physical or learning difference, it's even harder - and the system as it stands isn't helping. We need to acknowledge that this is not right; that such a state of affairs must change; and that we all have a part to play in making that change happen. Jarlath offers suggestions for politicians, Ofsted, local authorities, head teachers, SENCos, teachers and teaching assistants about what they can do to make a difference. For all politicians, head teachers, SENCOs, teachers and parents.
