Críticas

'The range covered in this book is considerable, and sensible school governors will read it avidly.'
Ted Wragg, Professor of Education, Exeter University.
'For those of us who always turn first to the problem page of any magazine, Joan Sallis's Question and Answer Guide is compulsive reading. It is perhaps the only governors' handbook I have ever read at
a sitting, enthralled by the plot and the characters.' Lindy Hardcastle, Chairman of Governors, Lady Jane Grey Primary School, Leics. in TES, March 1995 - The Times Educational Supplement - Educ., March 1995 'The latest collection of questions put to Joan Sallis, guru to the nation's school governors, makes for essential reading. Ms Sallis' answers always shine an eagle eye on the legalities surrounding the issues. Of equal value, her replies are laden with wisdom, ever-mindful of how problems are
dealt with today will impact on tomorrow's relationships.' - School Management, May 1995 '[Joan Sallis] shines out as the governors' champion..' - Governors' Action, April 1995 'Joan Sallis underpins her advice with sound legal knowledge. She adds to this her own shrewd common sense and experience, making this a practical guide based in the real world of education.' - The Teacher, October 1995
'Joan Sallis is the great champion of school governors and school
government. Many governors will want a copy of this compelling book.'
'Joan Sallis knows an immense amount about the strategic issues that
concern governors as well as practical concerns at school level. Her
understanding of the national issues is soundly based on her knowledge
of hundreds of incidents in different schools. This book based on her
responses to letters in the Times Educational Supplement, 4 years after
the first book of its kind, is therefore very soundly based on this
knowledge and experience.'
School Organisation, 1996

Reseña del editor

This question and answer guide tackles the main questions governors ask about
their contribution to the management of schools. In particular it covers the specific management problems that governors face as a result of the major legislation of 1988 and beyond.

The book brings together a wide selection of material from Joan Sallis's weekly 'Agenda' column published in The Times Educational Supplement.

Topics covered include: roles and relationships; communication; team-building; the curriculum; school inspections; management responsibilities; opting out; pupil discipline; sex education; religious education; better meetings.

Joan Sallis is by far the most influential UK commentator on School Governorship. Her column in The Times Educational Supplement provides invaluable advice on the difficult issues facing school governors today, written with characteristic humanity and humour.
