"You should not be afraid of someone who has a library and reads many books;
You should fear someone who has only one book;
And he considers it sacred, but he has never read it."

It’s ok if you fall apart sometimes. S’mores fall apart, and we still love them.

So, Terry Pearson (@TPLTD) and I have started looking at government legislation to determine what Ofsted can and can’t do.
… it seems like there has NEVER been legislation for Ofsted to inspect using grades.
The initial legislation of 1992 required a format decided by HM Chief Inspector.
Although additional requirements have been added, the required format has not changed since then in any of the more recent legislation.

As of this week I have resigned from Ofsted as an inspector. I do think that there is place for external scrutiny of schools, however the political agenda that seems to be driving the inspectorate, coupled with the toxicity of some inspection teams,
Jon Audain retweeted
Five reasons why Ofsted (or any inspectorate) makes schools WORSE, not better.
1. The assumption is that all inspectors know what makes for a good school.
Some do.
Some don’t.
Inspections are wildly different.
An inspector with a bee in his bonnet about x, fails you 1/12

BREAKING Ofsted have confirmed that a pilot visit to test their new inspection framework was made in 2019 to Caversham Primary school. In addition to inspectors – the Chief Inspector Amanda Spielman was present as an observer. Ruth Perry told parents feedback was glowing
Absolutely agree here.There is a place for evaluation in any education setting including coaching and mentoring for improvement but the pressure caused but inspections and the lasting effects on a now burnt-out workforce is a pressure that the teaching profession could do without

Deeply disappointed if this is being adopted as the approach to secondary ITT. Great teacher training never teaches a generic thing and then “applies it in a subject”. Tragic waste of valuable ITT time that needs to begin with and stay with distinctive subject building blocks.
But looks like the @NatInstTeaching is taking the generic approach to teacher training? My reading of this is that there is generic input, then applied to a subject.

Strange how some ‘adults’ appear to feel threatened by this powerful, thoughtful, considered ‘user review’ of education. Dismissal of these insights are not just disrespectful but implies a lack of willingness to listen and learn…
Jon Audain retweeted
The government falsely close down ITE providers over ‘quality’ losing 4.5k places - then plan to use additional financial incentives to recruit teachers from overseas where the same quality requirements don’t apply. Desperate and stupid isn’t a good look… #ITTMarketReview
💷 The government will offer overseas languages and physics teachers a £10,000 'relocation premium' to work in England under a new trial
