Abstract
Reviews some of the changes in the law relating to education which have given school governors greater powers than formerly. Describes how these new powers can create polarization between staff and governors, and between teaching and nonteaching governors. Outlines the format for a workshop designed to improve assertiveness among governors and teaching staff, which highlights the differences between aggressive, passive and assertive behaviours.
