Governor Training: What Does Effective Governance Look Like?

Focus: Leadership and Management
For: Governors

Description:

A session for governors about being as effective as possible within the time constraints of volunteering.

  • What are the key documents I need to know about?
  • Meeting preparation to make sure I can contribute effectively.
  • Link Governance – getting under the skin of an issue.
  • Traditional methods that work- book trawls, learning walks & visits, reports from middle leaders.
  • Asking effective questions.

Director’s Note:

Roland is absolutely fabulous at governor training, get governors booked on this. Roland’s advice and tips are fantastic. (I’m a vice chair and Roland’s guidance has greatly improved our performance).
