@ballater6 @TTRadioOfficial Totally - it is so counter intuitive giving these labels. And it’s so much more than being ‘outstanding’. You can’t fit it into a tick list criteria. Those labels would give me so much anxiety and stress.

‘An outstanding teacher is different to a good teacher… being outstanding isn’t a tick list, if you get an outstanding in a one off lesson doesn’t make you an outstanding teacher, being outstanding is so much more than that’ @Cat_Chowdhary twitter.com/i/spaces/1eaKb…

@Bethan_Southern @TTRadioOfficial Absolutely 👏 and that’s why I discuss how counter intuitive it was and how you can’t make a snap judgement based on one lesson. All teachers can grown and develop with support and guidance, not with a label. Unfortunately here in Abu Dhabi we do still get judgements!

@TTRadioOfficial @Cat_Chowdhary Why are we still labelling teachers and getting other teachers to make this so called “judgement call”? Ugh. No wonder this profession is on its knees. 🙄

@JamesTheo @TTRadioOfficial What I would say to those who don’t see the point and don’t like it is, that’s fine. But I would suggest thinking about the questions you are posing. It’s not about ‘do you like my lesson’ ‘ do you like me’ - it’s about ‘did you understand my lesson?’ ‘Did this make sense’

‘It’s probably someone who has had a negative comment if they are against student voice, you are going to have teenagers who are very sharp’ @Cat_Chowdhary is asked what she would say to those who have a negative view of student voice twitter.com/i/spaces/1eaKb…

@JamesTheo @TTRadioOfficial Taken out of context to what was being discussed. But I agree - some people don’t like student voice because they don’t see the purpose of it. Some don’t like it because they have had a bad experience of it. It’s about the purpose - it’s got to be beneficial, and purposefully.

@TTRadioOfficial @Cat_Chowdhary This is an awful position to take: assign motives for people's views based on a false assumption about their experiences. It's something people without an argument do.

@BarryNSmith79 @TTRadioOfficial It’s all to do with purpose - what is the purpose you are doing it for? Is it to genuinely get an answer, or is it another tick box exercise? As I said, for me it was more of using it to get a feel of whether each class were getting the same quality.

@TTRadioOfficial @Cat_Chowdhary I tend to think student voice is disingenuous. Schools presenting as changing policy in line with pupil comments but essentially window dressing for ofsted. Seen too many ‘you said/we did’ posters as ofsted about to arrive. Concept that kids decide school policy not for me.
