Summary: We provide a range of CPD options for teachers and educators to develop their knowledge, and ability to support, active student voice.
More info: These can be in-school twilight sessions which aim to give staff and governors a clear understanding of the benefits of student voice and smart school councils, and their rationale, structures and techniques. We also run training courses which get teachers together to help to make their school councils smart. One issue that we are often asked to help with is maintaining effective class councils across the school.
Upcoming courses: We’ve got a Smart School Council Masterclass courses in London on the 14th and 15th of November 2012 (these dates have been updated). These are one-day CPD course for primary and secondary school council coordinators. You can find more details here.
