News analysis – Future teaching to be up close and personalised (PF 12/1/07)
2020 Vision Report
Ethical issues – when you look at average attainment, you are ignoring a tail of under-achievement. The Government wants to be more individual on moral grounds.
Marketing mix:
Product – personalised rather than generalised education
Price – proposals have not been costed, and could come to nothing is not backed up by funding.
People – teachers to become more professional again: relax target restrictions on them and a more flexible National Curriculum.
Process – teachers to identify pupils not making progress and make progress plans.
Emphasis on professional standards and schools formulating their own strategies – disaggregation. But whole concept of National Curriculum is opposite.
