Empowerment: Support Staff

An empowered system expects, and creates, the conditions for all staff to work within a culture of collaboration and collegiality with learners, parents, colleagues and multi-agency partners. All share a vision for education based on the values and needs of the community. 

 

Empowered support staff make a positive difference to the ethos of a school. They link positively with parents and carers and encourage them to play a positive role in the life of the school and to support their child’s learning.

 

In this podcast, support staff from across Scotland share their thoughts on empowerment and how they contribute to the life and ethos of their schools
