So far, so good. We have collected about 20 surveys from a range of staff and faculties. The responses are mixed in most areas but clearly most people think that they have little say in the decision making process of the school as a whole.
I have been intrigued by the feedback by both the KLA coordinators and people in their factulty. I will use RE as an example. The coordinator feels like everybody gets a go and decision making is shared. However, the (albeit few) two responses from the faculty suggest otherwise.
What has been excellent is that most people have given examples of worthwhile decision making processes.
On reflection the best process I have been involved in has been with the Fantasy Football association that I am involved in. We are about to have an AGM and the process for changing the constitution is as fair and clear cut as I have seen. This usually involves sending out a proposal sheet, getting proposals in by a due date, printing them off in a very well set out booklet with all the options available, getting this out before the day and encouraging discussion before the meeting. Finally, all people come to the meeting with an idea of how they are going to vote. Some people reasons for/against and then we vote.
We will do a final appeal for surveys tomorrow and then collate them on the weekend - if I can fit in all the reports I have to write!
A friend of mine suggested that the school's PC might help developing the processes involved in developing worthwhile decision making structures. Will contact him with the results to see what he thinks.
