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.

The recent Trojan Horse scandal, in which twenty-five Birmingham, UK, schools were investigated following allegations that school governors were imposing a hard-line Muslim curriculum, raised important questions not only about school governance, but also about the future of a democratic system of education in England. Taking the Trojan Horse scandal as a starting point and drawing on her own experience as a school governor, Jacqueline Baxter examines what implications these questions will have for the newly elected British government. By examining the political, social, and economic contexts surrounding education in 2015, School Governance offers keen insights into pressures and challenges engendered by the current system and what these challenges may mean for English education in the twenty-first century.

- How effective school partnerships can enhance the quality of teaching and learning, and the creation of more vibrant, cost-effective provision. - How business and industry can take on a more strategic and structured role in the construction of meaningful learning experiences. - How high-quality local authorities can foster personalized provision in their own area. The success of personalizing learning in schools depends on the effective working together of all parties that form the education system. This book examines the roles and responsibilities of the key stakeholders: national government, local authorities, partnerships of schools and the world of business and industry. The authors expose how the current system fails a significant number of young people and the economic well-being of the nation, and present a realistic alternative perspective based upon examples of current practice at local and national level. This growing base of evidence signposts how the learning experiences of students can be truly transformed through innovative and effective teaching and learning.

The theory of multiple intelligences (MI) shows that there is much more to intelligence than high IQ, good spelling or quick mental maths - in fact there's a whole variety of ways to be clever, including musically, verbally, interpersonally, kinaesthetically and naturalistically. Multiple Intelligences is a powerful tool that helps you to appreciate and enrich the talents of all your learners, whatever their age. Creating an understanding of MI in schools has been shown to improve pupils' self-esteem, self-motivation and independence, and to help underachievers realize their potential. The book includes: - explanations of the different intelligences - activities to explore MI with your learners - practical ways to build MI into everyday teaching - how to use MI to personalize learning - creating an MI-friendly learning environment - case studies showing successful MI practice. This accessible guide gives a clear introduction to MI and provides concrete examples of how you can use it in your teaching.
