Mentors- Facilitators. Group News As the date is fast approaching we thought now would be a good time to issue some further information on our interview with DfE! Our interview panel consists of a member of our Governing body, our proposed Principal Designate, and three of our company members. Our interview slot is 90 minutes, and in this time we have to present on our evidence of demand, capability, capacity, and demonstrate our motivation for Prince’s Community School. One key area we need YOUR help with is our ‘evidence of demand’. Our proposed Principal Designate Helen Prince is required to take part in a Future Leaders Charitable Trust (FLCT) assessment centre which will focus on her potential to lead a Free School. So where do we go from here? We will also be updating our website with all the revised information about the school, so please check back soon for more info on all areas of the school. Prince’s Community School :)

Comments, tweets, and status updates are ubiquitous and constant. However, are we really focusing on the quality of the message we are putting out there? Are we really providing useful information or are we just adding to the noise? Simply giving students a blogger ID and a twitter username is not enough. Keep Standards High If we are going to enable our students to find and share their voice with the world, we need to equip them with a powerful skill that is timeless: writing effectively. Educators must model effective writing and editing as well. More Is Not Always Better The second frustrating element of social media is the perpetual sharing of watered-down guides e.g., "500 Tips for Google" or "100 Ways to Use YouTube in the Classroom."
