Questionable Questioning, and Imposter Syndrome: A Provocation and Two Reminiscences
Richards, Colin
FORUM: for promoting 3-19 comprehensive education, v64 n3 p154-158 Aut 2022
In a previous article in "FORUM," Ofsted's criteria for 'outstanding grades' were described as 'outstanding nonsense'. In the first part of this short two-part article, a similarly sceptical view is taken in regard to one important practice in the current Ofsted framework -- interviewing children to see how much they remember of the curriculum they have been taught. Such questioning is argued to be 'questionable'. Then, in a pair of reminiscences which comprise the second part, the author, himself a former school inspector who worked for Ofsted for four years, considers 'imposter syndrome': that gap between self and role which a teacher or inspector may suddenly become aware of, perhaps acutely.
