I was looking for a suitably hackle-raising story to get my blog going, and this turned up at the opportune moment. In short, an 'on-screen test' to 'screen potential teachers' for 'intangible qualities that define every great teacher'.
What part of 'intangible' don't they understand?
Here's another question for you: Have you ever exaggerated your abilities and experiences on a CV or job application? If you were sat in front of set of tick-boxes on a computer asking about organisation, flexibility and resilience, would you exaggerate in the same way if there was a whiff of a job?
If you want to have good teachers, you need to allow good teachers to be good teachers. That takes time, time off, space, esteem and sleep.
