Good Practice in School Based Training for Governing Bodies - NGC Good Practice Guide No 1, 2004
Summary of Research Project
There are three models of delivering training to governors currently available:
� The LEA or independent providers advertise a training course. The appropriate governor(s) attend and report back to the governing body.
� Families or development groups of schools (also called �pyramids� or �clusters� in some LEAs) organise training for governors in their local area. The TEN report �Governance Matters� (September 02) describes this as �virtually non-existent�.
� Training is delivered to the whole governing body in its own school by the LEA or independent providers.
The focus of this research is the third of these options, but we shall also be referring to good practice in locally organised training which 65 respondents said was available in answer to the questionnaire.
