Are you finding that your School Staff Committee is feeling less effective?
Are you having trouble getting one started at your school?
This workshop offers practical advice on how to establish and maintain a school staff committee that is modelled on effective and democratic decision-making. It makes the most sense for Staff Committee Chairs to attend but Chairs can send an alternate in their place.
Snacks will be provided starting at 3:30. The workshop will promptly start at 4pm.
Government has increased the voice of parents in schools, given greater power to administration, and limited teachers’ roles in decision-making. To maintain teacher influence and control over their professional lives, teachers require their own independent and democratic structure and processes in the worksite. This workshop offers practical advice on how to establish and maintain a school staff committee.
