flameboy Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 So yeah this week at work we've had ofsted and work has been hell. We've had people crying at poor observation results and they've had meetings where where they have really questioned the provision we provide to some of the students (all with moderate/severe learning difficulties/disabilites) following on from observations....so imagine my surprise when I got a 1=OUTSTANDING! Anyone who has met me knows I'm not a very serious guy and kinda of have a reputation at work as a bit of joker who rants and makes jokes bout everything and such. But now people who havn't spoken to me for years are suddenly coming up and congratulating me and such it's the best feeling ever. I've always had a confidence problem with my teaching even though as part of PGCE been observed tons and had our own internal observations and always had great feedback but kind of been skeptical as thought well they may go easy on me as I'm younger and in-experienced and they are trying to help but now if ofsted think I'm outstanding I must actually be...just WOW. Yay me! Please not this isn't me being an arrogant prick I'm just buzzing and wanna tell the world.
spirited away Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Congrats fella. Really good teachers are hard to come by.
Emma Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Congratulations! Was today their last day in your school? I've never experienced a full OFSTED, I dread to think how I'd react. I had an observation on Monday and freaked out ALL weekend over it. But yeah, well done!
Fierce_LiNk Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 From one teacher to another, well done, Flameeeee. You should change your name, as you certainly don't need the laaame part in it.
Wesley Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Bullshit. Ofsted don't know what they're talking about. We all know the real FLAAAAAMEBOY. Only kidding. Well done.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Pish, posh, you should be proud of yourself! Congrats, man!
Daft Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Well done!! You obviously have a talent for your job, which is probably why you don't quite appreciate quite how good you are at it. ...That's a massive compliment just in case it doesn't sound like one.
Ramar Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Congrats man, keep up the good work! [Enter thumbs up emoticon here]
bob Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 ...my only sunshine... ....you make me happy.....
flameboy Posted November 25, 2011 Author Posted November 25, 2011 ....you make me happy..... ...when skys are grey... Congratulations! Was today their last day in your school? I've never experienced a full OFSTED, I dread to think how I'd react. I had an observation on Monday and freaked out ALL weekend over it. But yeah, well done! Today there is their last day here but we don't expect them to do any observations today, its mostly feedback meetings and any other evidence we want to provide them. Not to make you worry too much but OFSTED stress is like something else. I feel very worn out and sleep deprived due to both long hours and restless nights/weird dreams about observations. I will say one thing this was the calmest I have ever been during an observation. Well done!! You obviously have a talent for your job, which is probably why you don't quite appreciate quite how good you are at it. ...That's a massive compliment just in case it doesn't sound like one. No No I get what you mean. Obviously I'm doing something right (well very right I guess) and just don't know it as such?
Charlie Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Well done dude thats awesome! What percentage of teachers get outstanding?
Shorty Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 99.4 per cent. I'm kidding, congratulations flamey one.
flameboy Posted November 25, 2011 Author Posted November 25, 2011 Well done dude thats awesome! What percentage of teachers get outstanding? 99.4 per cent. Err....not quite that high! I can't find the actual stats for it for Special Needs Education but reports for like Secondary Schools depending where you look say all sorts of numbers with ranging from 3%-7%. In our college out of the 25 observations that took place 4 of us got outstandings so its slightly higher.
Cube Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 I can officially say that you are OUTSTANDING...according to N-Europe. So put that on your CV instead of the silly teaching thing.
Jimbob Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Congrats on the outstanding flamey. Keep up the good work.
