The Role of a "Régent" (International / European Schools)

Kontext / Contexte

Through discussion with colleagues in my school and others there appears to be a need to go through not just the basics role of a "régent" but also to know how to do the technical aspects such as generating absence statistics.
This will also be an opportunity for discussion as we all will have similar needs and experiences.

- Participants must have a basic understanding of Webuntis
- participants must understand the basic role of the "régent" including what is a class council
- it would also help that participants know the assessment criteria for the different year groups.
