Colin Richards @colinspark.bsky.social · 02/03/2025Understandably you may be suffering from Ofsted-consultation fatigue but please find five minutes to complete the much shorter and sharper ABC (Alternative Big Consultation) at thealternativebiglisten.co.ukalternativebiglisten.co.ukLoading... 000
Colin Richards @colinspark.bsky.social · 27/02/2025We are getting many responses to the ABCbut we need more. Do find five or ten minutes to give us your judgments and ideas. 000

Colin Richards @colinspark.bsky.social · 08/01/2025Judging from his comments at yesterday's Select Committee Martyn Oliver still doesn't fully recognise the full magnitude of the loss of the profession's confidence in Ofsted. His "reforms" are welcome but nowhere near sufficient. 100
Colin Richards @colinspark.bsky.social · 06/12/2024Is there such a thing as "negative professionalism"? 000
Colin Richards @colinspark.bsky.social · 06/12/2024But who defines success? Your dedfinition may be very different from mine. Let' engage in discussion not in soundbites 110
Colin Richards @colinspark.bsky.social · 06/12/2024Good but will there be anything of substance ON the table? Or tweaks to already discredited practice? 010

Colin Richards @colinspark.bsky.social · 06/12/2024The problem is less the speed test itself but its statutory nature. 010
Colin Richards @colinspark.bsky.social · 06/12/2024They are not just "not very useful"; they are very problematic. 000
Colin Richards @colinspark.bsky.social · 06/12/2024What's the point about such premature polls ? Do we hav to expect such polls right up to 2029? 100

Colin Richards @colinspark.bsky.social · 26/11/2024What a naive question? There is no "right" progression,especially from a former member of Ofsted's problematic and now disbanded curriculum team. How would anyone recognise "right" progression? 100
Colin Richards @colinspark.bsky.social · 25/11/2024A pity such schools haven't confidence in their own judgments. Why is that ? 100
Reposted by Colin RichardsLewis Goodall @lewisgoodall.com · 24/11/2024This is spot on. There's very little sense right now in this debate about the balancing of harms. There's the possibility of that balance altering with a change. But there's also clear harm now that isn't being reckoned with. 1925238
Colin Richards @colinspark.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Of course it didn't. It never has and recent so-called "reforms" have made it even less likely. SEN CPD should be a statutory requirement for all teachers 010
Colin Richards @colinspark.bsky.social · 22/11/2024The commission certainly needs to have a majority of serving teachers and be chaired by one. 010
