...with Mick Waters & David Cameron, writing about Sir Tim Brighouse in @tesmagazine.bsky.socialwww.tes.com/magazine/lea... 2/2

A legacy for leaders: ‘Why we need to be more Tim’

Authors of a new book celebrating the life and work of Sir Tim Brighouse explain why his ideas, ethos and enthusiasm are needed as much as ever to drive education forward

Adding to facts by @jonnyuttley.bsky.social there’s additional harm of ‘progress measures’ ie lower average attainment expectations for learners disadvantaged by poverty as they have lower starting points.A score of ‘0’ P8 for PP group would be praised, but would give lower average attainment for PP

Fabulous that you did this - what a difference it would have made to those young people that you noticed them.

I feel I should also add … the whole study is about transition and it’s really excellent with simple approaches that could be implemented tried out .. but for me I couldn’t get past this diagram …

I hope that by raising awareness it will mean that schools do this survey. Simply ask. And then… act ♥️

I know .. never mind all the children who only had 1 (one way) connection …

I am still scarred by the study www.ucl.ac.uk/pals/sites/p... with this friendship ‘map’ where the label reminds us there were 3 children not on the map after 1 year @ secondary because no one nominated them and they couldn’t nominate a single friend. This is a critical matter to reflect on.

Great one. Reminds me of Sir Tim Brighouse and one of his mantras ..’improve on previous best’

I felt exactly the same about being asked..well, ok , being honest, I sent a reply asking if it was a joke or scam 🤣🤣 Year 1 should have been invited to the launch !!

And meanwhile in Birmingham #UnfinishedBusiness book launch with a rather fabulous contribution by your good self in it !!
