BITC/SGOSS 'How to' Guide

 

In 2007 Business in the Community and SGOSS worked together to create a guide for employers about to create a School Governor Programme in their workplace. This is available here.

 

 

Research has shown that a motivating factor for governors is their own development. It has also shown that experience gained in governorship impacts positively on career success. Jane Phillips, a long-serving governor and former Chair of the National Association of School Governors has written three books which might help governors in their careers, their schools and their leisure time.

Recruitment and Selection - a practical guide for school governors and headteachers

A complete guide to staff selection with particular reference to the recruitment and selection of Heads and Deputies. It lays out step by step the procedures that have to be followed, and, drawing on the work of leading management experts, shows how to use the time and tools available to best assess exactly how the candidates meet your requirements.

Stand out, Fit in, Have fun - Career progress for people who enjoy life

This book shows that likeable people have more fun and - here’s the surprising bit - that they are more successful at work. Drawing on the author’s sound knowledge of business psychology, it has some serious messages but, like the author, it doesn’t take itself too seriously.

And even governors need to relax. Why not try jam making? 'Jam in the cupboard' is a dual language recipe book written in collaboration with a French chef.
