Product Description

The Handbook for Governors aims to ensure that all Governors can support the school to their full potential not by working harder, or longer, but by having more understanding of their role and tasks. It is an invaluable aid to Governors, and to the leadership of the school, when setting the agenda for Governor training, and when welcoming new Governors into their role. It gives many strategies for development, and also areas for reflection and consideration. The whole book is reproduced on the accompanying CD ROM, enabling schools to personalise the handbook for their own use. Whole sections, pages and tables will enable you to ensure that development matches the priorities for the school, and that the Governors are able to fulfil their role with understanding and knowledge. The book covers all aspects of the work of the Governing Body, including support, monitoring, and preparation for inspection.
