1. Accept that there are *huge* limitation to what you can actually find out. There’s a temptation to try and find out everything about a candidate through different tasks, but this can be distracting. We’re better off focusing on finding the few things that really matter.

Stuff like this is really sad to see. We need to start thinking about how we approach ITT as a profession. Hopefully the ECF will be a significant first step, but there’s lots of improvements that we could be making to help avoid this kind of thing:

1) Stop grading trainee’s lessons. We’ve started to recognise this is nonsense as part of performance management, why haven’t we called this practice into question in teacher training?
