What is the Smart School Councils model?
The Smart School Council model helps to get every pupil having a voice and developing skills. That’s what makes it ‘smart’: it uses the whole school community’s ideas, interests and skills.
It doesn’t rely on a few committed people. In working this way it also develops the skills, commitment and involvement of everyone in the school. It is a participative model of democracy: everyone is listened to, but if you want change you have to put some effort in, not ask someone else to do it for you.
To find out more about the model, it’s best to head to our homepage. From there, you can learn about how it works, the impact that it has and how we give your school a practical step by step guide to adopt the model. There’s also case studies from the schools using the model.
Brilliant and simple! Like everything what did you create 🙂
Thanks Tomas. We’ve taken a lot of inspiration from you in the Czech Republic.
Hi,
I was wondering if I could get some help on the type/wording of questions that could be asked in the class meetings?
Thanks
Hi Leigh,

Hi
I can not get the PDF downloads to open.
Thanks very much for letting us know. I’m not sure what caused the problem, but I’ve added new versions of the file and they seem to be downloading correctly now.
