The
Effective Governor is an interactive, DVD-based
school development course, which comes complete
with Individual Learning Guides for course participants
to record their progress and Facilitation Notes
to help with delivery of the course. It incorporates
specific tools for stimulating creative thinking
and practical problem solving.
Module 1 is designed
as a recruitment tool that spells
out the benefits and rewards of being a school governor,
emphasising personal satisfactions and the impact
of the role on the future of the pupils at the school.
Module 2 is a
comprehensive induction package
for individual governors to find their feet and
develop confidence quickly and thoroughly, helping
people see their way through the maze of information
available to governors and become effective as soon
as possible.
Module 3 encourages
team building, allowing the governors
to examine some typical real world scenarios (dramatised)
and come up with solutions together, stressing the
need for assertive behaviour and creative thinking.
Expert feedback is given on each scenario by Sir
Geoff Hampton, Director, Midlands Leadership Centre.
Module 4 sets
out the requirements of Ofsted
and helps the governors understand what it is they
need to achieve (and prove that they have achieved)
when the school is inspected, providing a number
of tools to help them clarify and resolve issues.
