Effective Communication
Suzanne Tager, Chair of Governors, Rimon Jewish Primary School
Headteachers tell us that dealing with governors and managing their expectations can be one of the most challenging aspects of their role. In this session governors explored how to communicate effectively, to help senior leaders to hear your message, actively listen to what they are saying and ensure you understand their perspective. Governors discussed how to prepare for potentially challenging conversations and work collaboratively to decide on a course of action.
