It’s about outcomes! Isn’t it?
eg How can we: Identify the CHARM group as early as possible, especially those
with EBD Have focused targeting but avoid perverse effects Adopt consistent, valid and reliable measures of achievement Use measures which credit the full range of achievements Focus on 4 capacities and emphasise core skills, vocational
skills, life skills A new focus on destinations. Intense support for employability. …?

There is no such thing as an unmotivated pupil - just a de-motivating learning ethos?
Key Ideas
Teachers need to realise their power over pupils - the ethos is not a neutral backdrop.
Teachers who don’t think that ethos is
important should be replaced by computers?
