Excellent Windows

I have a poster on the classroom wall. It has a quote attributed to Steve Jobs:

Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.

Four things from Ofsted

A summary of what ofsted say they want from Scenes From The Battleground.

1. Planning to provide a framework for lessons.
2. Reflective teachers who acknowledge that teaching is a learning process.
3. Perceptive people that can adapt to optimise a learning episode (and change their carefully made plans when needed).
4. Measuring your success on whether measurement shows students making (rapid) progress.
5. Resilience.

A good read. (This week I realise that I’m struggling with #5).
