School Inspection: Unconscionable Acts of Reason

Research output: Non-textual form › Digital or Visual Products

Abstract

At a time when the school inspection process is under scrutiny, a parliamentary inquiry is underway, and the new chief inspector of OFSTED is grappling with the need for a more humane approach, there is an opportunity to develop ideas both about the inspection process and how teachers and school leaders manage this. This event will draw on data from research of teachers' experiences of school inspection during a period of 'requires improvement'. Data in the form of 'I' poems will be presented to provoke debate and consideration of a more ethical approach to inspection. It is a good opportunity for attendees to share their experiences and ideas with colleagues from the locality. The ideas generated in the workshop will be used to develop a conceptual framework for school inspection and training in managing the inspection process.
