Love this from @Counsell_C: Writing lesson objectives on the board at the start of a lesson is like telling the punchline of a joke, before telling the joke

One day, I'll receive an email about keynote speakers being announced for a big conference, and those speakers will be actual teachers. With timetabled classes. I'll receive an email about educational panel events where organisers have committed to having at least one person with a timetabled class on the panel. I'll receive an email about people being invited to some glitzy event in town or Number 10, and the people invited will be actual teachers. With timetabled classes. One day, but not today.

Children with disadvantage often don’t do as well as others because, overall, they have had fewer resources than those who are not disadvantaged. Schools are expected to provide additional resources to those children and indeed there is a PP payment to fund these extra resources. However, schools that serve such communities often have to spend considerable additional (to PP) resources over and above in the form of time, effort and emotional toil. And the end outcome will still be, overall, insufficient due to a myriad of factors - not least that it is impossible for schools to compete with parents who lavishly resource their children from birth to work and beyond to help them achieve. The way to help schools is to provide additional resources rather than pressure staff in them to spend more of their own personal time, effort and emotional toil over and above those whose schools serve more advantaged communities. If you do exert that pressure using gaslighting (‘you have low expectations’), many amazing and hard working staff will leave our wonderful profession or such schools and seek a fairer contractual relationship.

I’m not sure how the new Ofsted framework is raising standards. It’s seems to be regurgitating the same systemic issues - the more disadvantaged the school, the more likely Ofsted will highlight this, and exacerbate the problem. schoolsweek.co.uk/fury-as-of…

Thought on the new DfE white paper. Could we address a barrier to this: English exam marking. If we want grade 5 for more, then we need consistency between exam bodies of what qualifies as the “higher” responses. I’m more baffled each year by the re-marks/data analysis.
