Frank and Stan Chat No. 222

After a short break the Frank and Stan Chat returns with a familiar guest joining us again. Brian Lightman, the former leader of ASCL (for 6 years) and secondary Headteacher of two Welsh schools, author and education consultant returns to consider - the role of Facebook in deciding on which school to select- the dangers of the current Ofsted inspection proposals- the role of the RISE teams and they intersect with existing school improvement programmes and strategies- the lack of a clear vision for education, and- balancing the budget.The chat ends on a more positive note with better news on teacher recruitment and the possible push for more Drama teachers which may indicate a shift in focus coming through the Francis Curriculum Review.A great way to start the summer series of chats. Enjoy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
