Gullick, director for all of wales centres for training and research.
School governors- these people have a massive impact on teachers careers.
One for the main topics was should governors be experts or people that have a stake in the school, should governors get
paid. They should get paid because it is such an important job, but they could
be experts but just be doing it for the money.
For example;
Mrs Jones- cares about the school and wants wants best.
Local
bank manger -can help with funding and money but will not care as much.
