Movement on the Protocols

Big movement on decision making in the school.
I chaired a meeting of the CAR group and it became clear that the discussion was ill-directed and often fatuous.
At the end, it was suggested that a decision making process be adopted by the committee to help direct discussion in a more fruitful or at least, efficient direction. This was agreed to.
Also I "kited" the idea that the CAR needs a framework of principles of operation - eg "all long reports are submitted first to allow for extensive proofreading". I might suggest that i get the minutes of the CAR meeting to help flesh out this framework. Accompanying this should be a vision statement for the group. More of this later when it starts to gel.
Also we got the go ahead to use some sort of refining protocol to help with the development of the basic beleif statement for the school. This process was started by teachers who listed down their top 10 beliefs about education. This will be added to by the Board, P&F and by the SRC of the school.
We will then use our time at the end of the year to discuss, probably using the tuning protocol, the summarised version of all of this. I now need to sit down with Amanda to discuss how we might do this.
