Suzie Pugh - pictures around the University

In todays session, Suzie got us to experiment with different emotions using a digital camera. We were each given an I-pod with a camera and then set off around the University. I did not have a specific emotion, I tried to find funny, unusual things about the place. Here is what I found:

Steve Gullick - What is Education 7/2/12 SEMINAR

    Today Steve gave us real life examples of Govening experiences that he's dealt with. He did not give any names so everything was confidential. The first handout was about Health and Safety. He gave us a situation on a school trip and we had to give a checklist on what we would do before going on a trip. We went around the class giving answers such as consent forms, first aid kit etc. Steve gave us 2 examples and then went on to explain whatr Strategic Planning is. We are now aware that SMT, staff and governers meet to produce a Develpment Plan.

Steve Gullick - What is Education 6/2/12 LECTURE

     Today we had a guest speaker in the lecture covering Andy. He was an ex Head Teacher, Steve was Head at a large school in Birmingham. In this lecture he talked to us about Governers, explaining what they were and what their roles are. Steve explained that there are 23,000 Governers in Wales, he then gave us a handout showing the main key roles. This includes promoting high standards, setting targets and managing the school budget. Steve then went onto who is included in the Govening body. It is built up of parents, LEA's, Teachers, Staff, Community and the Head.
    Steve then gave us another hand out explaining how school governers interact with the teachers. I now know they do this by job interviews, informal visits to schools, celebrations and meetings.
