#UKEdGovs - a good new initiative but I don't know how much this costs.
The Governors’ Gateway has launched!
We’re delight to share a new learning platform built for the realities of school governance.
It’s the brainchild of @catherinepriggs.bsky.social and we know it will be so helpful for governors.

#ResearchAdvent Day 10 Methodology I wanted to raise the voices of governors in my research. I also wanted to use the authoritative knowledge of experienced chairs to inform my survey. So my research uses a social constuctionist approach. It's been enjoyable and in the early stages collaborative.
