Frank and Stan Chat No.153: The Dr Rebecca Lawton Edition

A fascinating guest this week and a focus on her Doctoral thesis into the uniqueness, or otherwise of Ofsted reports. Rebecca considered how language in the reports led to subsequent improvements in outcomes, were there any emerging trends, any influencing factors that affected language or impact and within the area for improvement were there any particularly effective or impactful phrases that drove improvement. It is a very important piece of research and makes clear Ofsted reports are far from unique. We also have time for what's caught our eye this week so Stan kicks off his personal IT problems in Anglesey and how this is affecting businesses. Rebecca then explains how Special Schools appear to have been forgotten (again!) and Frank considers the complexity of tackling weak attendance and growing numbers of suspensions and exclusions. Rebecca closes the chat considering how the profession needs to open up to greater inclusion when training teachers for the future. It's a good 'un. Hosted on Acast.
