Examination of Witnesses (Questions 420-422)
18 JANUARY 2005
MR LESZEK
IWASKOW AND
MR PETER
DAW
Q420 Chairman: I note your answer on
that.
Mr Iwaskow: Thank you.
Q421 Chairman: I just wanted to ask you
about training for inspectors. Is there any training in respect
of inspectors in ESD? Is that carried out?
Mr Iwaskow: Currently no, but
I have been in discussions with some material that is being filmed
at the moment, linked to some of the self-evaluation framework
that is being developed, and the potential of that is that when
it is completed it may well be used for training inspectors at
some future date to make them aware of ESD and how it can be identified
in schools. Certainly the inspectors that I use on my sample visits
do get training in the instruments that we are using and they
get access to the documentation they are expected to understand,
so they get a much better picture of ESD. Certainly out there
in the section 10 inspections which are finishing shortly there
is no training for ESD, but it can be built into the new training
if it is required.
Q422 Chairman: Thank you for that. On
that note we will perhaps look forward to inspectors having some
bedtime reading of the EAS and the Committee proceedings. Thank
you very much indeed.
Mr Iwaskow: I will certainly do
my best. Thank you.
