I am very pleased to launch the third Ask A Clerk training course for clerks to governors in maintained schools!
(This course is not suitable for academy clerks.)
This third training course is called the Minutes, Agendas & Admin course. It explains how to write minutes, how to draft agendas and how to tackle admin tasks such as declaration of interests forms and publishing info on the school website.
This is a pre-recorded video course so you can watch the video as many times as you like, whenever you like.
The two-hour training video comes with a written transcript, plus a study guide which summarises the key points.
What does the Minutes, Agendas & Admin course cover?
The Minutes, Agendas & Admin course covers:
- writing accurate, useful minutes
- recording decisions
- recording action points
- summarising governor discussions
- recording governor support and challenge
- examples of good minutes (written by me)
