The NAHT has a long way to go to prove to teachers that they feel GERM is detrimental to our education system and personally I think it is too much to hope for at present but I am delighted it is even being discussed.
Pasi Sahlberg - newly added to the web links below, and well worth exploring, shares some thoughts on GERM & PISA and the Finnish approach to education (as shared by Kevin Courtney (NUT) via twitter recently). Something appears to be being lost in translation:
So why do head teachers in the UK appear to be getting it so wrong when converting the OECD/PISA data and expectations into school policy? Any thoughts or answers would be appreciated as I am currently constructing an essay on this topic and reader input - via any good web links or your own thoughts would be appreciated. The essay will appear in chunks on The Unlesson Manifesto over the next couple of months.
