What Asher’s been Tweeting this week 2010-01-24

.@joehallforluton Good job, but what's really important to find out is how they're empowering the children NOT on the school council. #
@luke_cb the participation you want has to have value to the participant in itself. No additional rewards, make the opportunity rewarding. in reply to luke_cb #
@JoeHallforLuton Good methods of communication are key, alongside structures for those not elected to get involved in action. #
@schoolgoverning Good luck with your interview. Do you know what they asked the school council? in reply to schoolgoverning #
A lot of people seem to be feeling bored in Citizenship. What should we do to make it better? @Colinmac93 @barmyblonde4eva @Emzy1791 #
@DaleRockell Yes. Teachers not practiced in facilitation, alongside the civics/non-practical element of the curriculum contribute to boredom in reply to DaleRockell #
@luke_cb not had a chance to read this yet, but could/should offer some ideas: http://bit.ly/5d8Uyk #
@butwait Thanks for pointing out @FreeRangeKids, she does look interesting. Risk is unavoidable and necessary for learning. in reply to butwait #
@butwait Thanks, will do, looks interesting. in reply to butwait #
@fowora Thanks for the RT. I'm running a session at the Citizenship Foundation on the 1st, are you going to be there? #studentvoice #

At the Emirates for only the 2nd time this season. I wish I had more money! Here's to at least a 2 goal win. Come on you Gunners. #
Well this is not going to plan, but it is true to form. Last 5 mins finally picked up. #
Goddamn, the Gunnersaurus just fired a scarf at me, but it slipped through my fingers and into the lap of the guy behind me. I blame Almunia #
@fowora That's a shame, would be good to catch up. We're around Old Street now so can easily come over when you're free. Let me know. in reply to fowora #
RT @PennyAW: Anyone looking for voluntary work – great site for you http://www.do-it.org.uk You can search by area and type of work u are intereste #
@PennyAW Have now. Thanks. That's an interesting prospect. Used to run summer camps, but do I still have the energy? in reply to PennyAW #
@DLFresources Who said that? Thought I heard something there, but maybe it was just my imagination…. in reply to DLFresources #
I couldn't come up with a better one than what's on there -> RT @AIannucci: Make you own David Cameron poster. http://bit.ly/8voj3r #
At the Tower Hamlets Young Mayors Inauguration. I wonder if any of the young people I trained got elected? #
@UKYP @bohemiacademia @LouiseRidley Think that's too broad, but maybe it could be a prefix, e.g. #ypvoice #ypnews #yppolitics in reply to bohemiacademia #
@FreeRangeKids A seller of free-range eggs? in reply to FreeRangeKids #
RT @SchoolDuggery: RT @diane1859 Ofsted arrives on Mon at the pri school where I'm chair of govs – any advice out there? @schoolgoverning #
Chatting to the Chief Exec of Tower Hamlets. The Young Mayor will have the biggest mandate of any elected representative in the borough. #
Well, the new Young Mayor has been announced. He wants to reduce crime and improve GCSE results. 49.9% of eligible young people voted. #
@bowbrick Yes, I recently became a governor of Welbourne Primary School in Tottenham, Haringey. Great idea for a list. in reply to bowbrick #

@dughall Sounds really interesting. Can I have a look or will you be posting more info about it anywhere? in reply to dughall #

.@rbashforth #studentvoice Third: get students to watch videos and make an action plan for how they can improve things. #
@bowbrick I am a governor, just not a parent governor. in reply to bowbrick #
@dughall I have some experience of school council linking projects, but want to see them go further, so if I can be any help, just ask. in reply to dughall #
