Talking about *mental models*? Make sure you know what you mean. It’s a popular term often used loosely. They aren’t just bits of knowledge. They’re situation-sensitive tools for thinking. This post took 2yrs to write! ☕️Grab a coffee and have a read bit.ly/3EXhJWs

5 things to know about mental models

Why do some teachers instinctively know which student to redirect with a glance and which one needs a quiet word at the door?

This is key. Decisions need to have input by people who currently serve or have recently served in schools. Increasingly the thinking is being outsourced from schools & this worries me. I understand the irony of me saying this as I'm not in schools at the moment.

I’m delighted Sir Hamid Patel has been elected Chairman of Ofsted. His track record speaks for itself. He also showed me immense kindness whilst surrounded by edu-greats on an DfE consultation group. He has emotional intelligence, empathy and sensitivity - all qualities valuable at Ofsted I reckon.
