Power and perspectives

Who sets the agenda?
What constitutes 'good behaviour'?
who decides?
and if we're working together; who sets the agenda?

Check Tom Cavanagh's blog post for another angle on collaboration. Makes me want to re-examine the idea of 'voice and influence' in schools. One of my daughters informed me that the school council wasn't meeting because the teacher in charge was off sick. Oooh I wonder what decisions would have been made in their absence if 'voice' and 'influence' were not separate notions. . .
