Three Ways to Make Teacher Education in England Even Better

Year: 2019

description: As I hope will be clear from the title, this article does not assume a deficit model of teacher education. As even the government now acknowledge , the quality of initial teacher education in this country is high, whether it be delivered through HEI or SCITT partnerships. The results of OfSTED inspections and surveys of newly qualified teachers confirm this, with the vast majority of ITE provision rated by OFSTED as being either ‘good’ or ‘outstanding ’. Given the turbulence that it has faced in recent years, ITE providers (especially HEIs, which bore the brunt of the ideological assaults on the mythical ‘blob’ during Michael Gove’s tenure as Education Secretary), the sector deserves to be congratulated on what it has maintained and achieved.

description: The characteristic connection of an almost hermitian structure is a hermitian connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion. The case of parallel torsion in dimension six is of particular interest. In this work, we give a full classification of the algebraic types of the torsion form, and, based on this, undertake a systematic investigation into the possible geometries. Numerous naturally reductive spaces are constructed and classified as well as examples on nilmanifolds given.

description: We present a first experimental demonstration of a new method to extract a well-collimated beam of ultra-cold neutrons (UCN) from a storage vessel. Neutrons with too large divergence are not removed from the beam by an absorbing collimation, but a diffuse or semidiffuse channel with high Fermi potential reflects them back into the vessel. This avoids unnecessary losses and keeps the storage time high, which may be beneficial when the vessel is part of a UCN source with long buildup time of a high UCN density.
Maximum logarithmic derivative bound on quantum state estimation as a dual of the Holevo bound
Creators: name: Yamagata, Koichi
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In quantum estimation theory, the Holevo bound is known as a lower bound of weighed traces of covariances of unbiased estimators. The Holevo bound is defined by a solution of a minimization problem, and in general, explicit solution is not known. When the dimension of Hilbert space is two and the number of parameters is two, a explicit form of the Holevo bound was given by Suzuki. In this paper, we focus on a logarithmic derivative lies between the symmetric logarithmic derivative (SLD) and the right logarithmic derivative (RLD) parameterized by $β\in[0,1]$ to obtain lower bounds of weighted trace of covariance of unbiased estimator. We introduce the maximum logarithmic derivative bound as the maximum of bounds with respect to $β$. We show that all monotone metrics induce lower bounds, and the maximum logarithmic derivative bound is the largest bound among them. We show that the maximum logarithmic derivative bound has explicit solution when the $d$ dimensional model has $d+1$ dimensional $\mathcal{D}$ invariant extension of the SLD tangent space. Furthermore, when $d=2$, we show that the maximization problem to define the maximum logarithmic derivative bound is the Lagrangian duality of the minimization problem to define Holevo bound, and is the same as the Holevo bound. This explicit solution is a generalization of the solution for a two dimensional Hilbert space given by Suzuki. We give also examples of families of quantum states to which our theory can be applied not only for two dimensional Hilbert spaces.
The targum (1949:Oct. 4 - 1949:Oct. 28)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied

Year: 1949

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.
Magnetohydrodynamic Model of Equatorial Plasma Torus in Planetary Nebulae
Creators: name: Tsui, K. H.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Some basic structures in planetary nebulae are modeled as self-organized magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) plasma configurations with radial flow. These configurations are described by time self-similar dynamics, where space and time dependences of each physical variable are in separable form. Axisymmetric toroidal MHD plasma configuration is solved under the gravitational field of a central star of mass $M$. With an azimuthal magnetic field, this self-similar MHD model provides an equatorial structure in the form of an axisymmetric torus with nested and closed toroidal magnetic field lines. In the absence of an azimuthal magnetic field, this formulation models the basic features of bipolar planetary nebulae. The evolution function, which accounts for the time evolution of the system, has a bounded and an unbounded evolution track governed respectively by a negative and positive energy density constant $H$.

Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)

description: In the domain of Active Learning (AL), a learner actively selects which unlabeled examples to seek labels from an oracle, while operating within predefined budget constraints. Importantly, it has been recently shown that distinct query strategies are better suited for different conditions and budgetary constraints. In practice, the determination of the most appropriate AL strategy for a given situation remains an open problem. To tackle this challenge, we propose a practical derivative-based method that dynamically identifies the best strategy for a given budget. Intuitive motivation for our approach is provided by the theoretical analysis of a simplified scenario. We then introduce a method to dynamically select an AL strategy, which takes into account the unique characteristics of the problem and the available budget. Empirical results showcase the effectiveness of our approach across diverse budgets and computer vision tasks.

description: The content on the web is in a constant state of flux. New entities, issues, and ideas continuously emerge, while the semantics of the existing conversation topics gradually shift. In recent years, pre-trained language models like BERT greatly improved the state-of-the-art for a large spectrum of content understanding tasks. Therefore, in this paper, we aim to study how these language models can be adapted to better handle continuously evolving web content. In our study, we first analyze the evolution of 2013 - 2019 Twitter data, and unequivocally confirm that a BERT model trained on past tweets would heavily deteriorate when directly applied to data from later years. Then, we investigate two possible sources of the deterioration: the semantic shift of existing tokens and the sub-optimal or failed understanding of new tokens. To this end, we both explore two different vocabulary composition methods, as well as propose three sampling methods which help in efficient incremental training for BERT-like models. Compared to a new model trained from scratch offline, our incremental training (a) reduces the training costs, (b) achieves better performance on evolving content, and (c) is suitable for online deployment. The superiority of our methods is validated using two downstream tasks. We demonstrate significant improvements when incrementally evolving the model from a particular base year, on the task of Country Hashtag Prediction, as well as on the OffensEval 2019 task.
Cloning and expression of the Drosophila melanogaster CuZn superoxide dismutase gene
Creators: name: Seto, Nina O. L.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Aging and disease processes may be due to deleterious and irreversible changes produced by free radical reactions. The enzyme copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZn SOD; superoxide: superoxide oxidoreductase, EC 1.15.1.1) performs a protective function by scavenging superoxide radicals. In order to determine whether additional SOD activity affects longevity and oxygen metabolism in Drosophila, our approach was to clone the Sod gene and introduce additional copies of the gene back into the genome via P element mediated transformation. The effects of increased SOD activity on Drosophila life span and oxygen free radical metabolism were investigated. The CuZn SOD cDNA and gene were cloned from Drosophila melanogaster. The sequence of the Sod cDNA and gene revealed an additional C-terminal triplet coding for valine not found in the mature SOD protein. The nucleotide sequence of the coding region has 56% and 57% identity when compared to the corresponding human and rat Sod genes, respectively. A probe of the cloned gene hybridizes to position 68A4-9 on Drosophila polytene chromosomes. In wild-type Drosophila the Sod cDNA hybridizes to a 0.7-0.8 kb transcript which is greatly diminished in a SOD 'null' mutant that produces only 3.5% of the SOD protein. A 1.8 kb EcoRI gene fragment containing the Sod gene was cloned into the P vector pUChsneo and microinjected into Drosophila embryos. Five transformed lines, each of which contain an additional copy of the Sod gene at different chromosomal sites were constructed. The chromosomal positions of the transposed Sod sequence were determined by in situ hybridization of the Sod gene to salivary gland polytene chromosomes. Analysis of RNA from the transformed flies revealed that the transposed Sod gene was expressed. The range of SOD activity for the five transformed lines was 131% to 170% of the value of wild-type. There was good correlation between the amount of Sod mRNA and the level of SOD activity in the transformed lines. Increased SOD levels in the transformed lines did not confer greater resistance to paraquat-generated superoxide radicals, nor increase their lifespan. The SOD 'null' mutant with 3.5% of the wild-type SOD activity was hypersensitive to paraquat when compared to wild-type, whereas the heterozygous SOD deficiency Df(3L)1xd⁹/TM3SbSer with 50% of the wild-type SOD activity was not. Mutants lacking SOD are dramatically impaired in oxygen metabolism and a few percent of wild-type activity appears to provide significant protection against superoxide, while 50% of the wild-type levels confers essentially the same resistance as wild-type. Despite the observation that the SOD activities found in a wide range of animals correlates directly with their longevity, Drosophila melanogaster appears to be well protected against the toxic effects of oxygen by its native levels of SOD.

description: The wide adoption of low-frequency radio interferometers as a tool for deeper and higher resolution astronomical observations has revolutionised radio astronomy. Despite their construction from static, relatively simple dipoles, the sheer number of distinct elements introduces new, complicated instrumental effects. Their necessary remote locations exacerbate failure rates, while electronic interactions between the many adjacent receiving elements can lead to non-trivial instrumental effects. The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) employs phased array antenna elements (tiles), which improve collecting area at the expense of complex beam shapes. Advanced electromagnetic simulations have produced the Fully Embedded Element (FEE) simulated beam model which has been highly successful in describing the ideal beam response of MWA antennas. This work focuses on the relatively unexplored aspect of various in-situ, environmental perturbations to beam models and represents the first large-scale, in-situ, all-sky measurement of MWA beam shapes at multiple polarizations and pointings. Our satellite based beam measurement approach enables all-sky beam response measurements with a dynamic range of \sim 50 dB, at 137 MHz.

description: Non-Hermitian topological systems have attracted lots of interest due to their unique topological properties when the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) appears. However, the experimental realization of NHSE conventionally requires non-reciprocal couplings, which are compatible with limited systems. Here we propose a mechanism of loss-induced Floquet NHSE, where the loss provides the basic source of non-Hermicity and the Floquet engineering brings about the Floquet-induced complex next-nearest-neighbor couplings. We also extend the generalized Brillouin zone theory to nonequilibrium systems to describe the Floquet NHSE. Furthermore, we show that this mechanism can realize the second-order NHSE when generalized to two-dimensional systems. Our proposal can be realized in photonic lattices with helical waveguides and other related systems, which opens the door for the study of topological phases in Floquet non-Hermitian systems.

description: Excerpts from the report: The playing field in world agricultural trade is uneven. Some countries subsidize their imports; others subsidize their exports. Some tax imports; others tax exports. Most nations try to help their farmers through domestic farm programs. All these influences converge to distort the price signals that would otherwise govern supply and demand in a freer trade environment. The resulting hodgepodge has disadvantaged many producers in the United States and other countries, even though their farm products are among the least expensive to produce. We highlight the extent of such government intervention in agricultural products for 12 countries (including the United States) and the European Community. This report gives a perspective on the issues and conditions that the United States and the other 91 members of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) confront in spring 1987 as they negotiate a reduction in intervention in international markets.

This formula is closely related to a noncommutative Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem that is proved here. Our approach relies on a very general form of Poincare duality, which is studied here in detail. Among the technical tools employed are calculations with iterated products in bivariant K-theory and cyclic theory, which are simplified using a novel diagram calculus reminiscent of Feynman diagrams.

description: The photonic local density of states (PLDOS) determines the light matter interaction strength in nanophotonic devices. For standard dielectric devices, the PLDOS is fundamentally limited by diffraction, but its precise dependence on the size parameter $s$ of a device can be non-trivial. Here, we measure the PLDOS dependence on the size parameter in a waveguide using a new technique - nanowaveguide coupled cathode luminescence (CL). We observe that depending on the position within the waveguide cross-section, the effective diffraction limit of the PLDOS varies, and the PLDOS peak shape changes. Our results are of fundamental importance for optimizing coupling to nanophotonic devices, and also open new avenues for spectroscopy based on evanescently coupled CL.

A Revised Prescription for the Tayler-Spruit Dynamo: Magnetic Angular Momentum Transport in Stars
Creators: name: Denissenkov, Pavel A.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Angular momentum transport by internal magnetic fields is an important ingredient for stellar interior models. In this paper we critically examine the basic heuristic assumptions in the model of the Tayler-Spruit dynamo, which describes how a pinch-type instability of a toroidal magnetic field in differentially rotating stellar radiative zones may result in large-scale fluid motion. We agree with prior published work both on the existence of the instability and its nearly horizontal geometry for perturbations. However, the approximations in the original Acheson dispersion relation are valid only for small length scales, and we disagree that the dispersion relation can be extrapolated to horizontal length scales of order the radius of the star. We contend that dynamical effects, in particular angular momentum conservation, limit the maximum horizontal length scale. We therefore present transport coefficients for chemical mixing and angular momentum redistribution by magnetic torques that are significantly different from previous published values. The new magnetic viscosity is reduced by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude compared to the old one, and we find that magnetic angular momentum transport by this mechanism is very sensitive to gradients in the mean molecular weight. The revised coefficients are more compatible with empirical constraints on the timescale of core-envelope coupling in young stars than the previous ones. However, solar models including only this mechanism possess a rapidly rotating core, in contradiction with helioseismic data. (abridged)

description: The theoretical prediction of Q-balls in relativistic quantum fields is realized here experimentally in superfluid 3He-B. The condensed-matter analogs of relativistic Q-balls are responsible for an extremely long lived signal of magnetic induction -- the so-called Persistent Signal -- observed in NMR at the lowest temperatures. This Q-ball is another representative of a state with phase coherent precession of nuclear spins in 3He-B, similar to the well known Homogeneously Precessing Domain which we interpret as Bose condensation of spin waves -- magnons. At large Q the effect of self-localization is observed. In the language of relativistic quantum fields it is caused by interaction between the charged and neutral fields, where the neutral field provides the potential for the charged one. In the process of self-localization the charged field modifies locally the neutral field so that the potential well is formed in which the charge is condensed.

Year: 2019

description: Linking theory and practice in university teacher education is a necessary condition for the development of didactic competence. With this in mind, we developed a seminar to promote competence-oriented teaching through a continuous exchange of practical expertise with current teachers. As a result, all of the participants (students and teachers) should acquire greater pedagogical knowledge as a central element of their teaching expertise. In order to examine the impact of the seminar, we measured the development of the competence-oriented didactic knowledge of 57 participating students and 6 accompanying teachers. To do so, we used a pre–post design with different control groups. The results show a significant increase in didactic knowledge. But they also show that diagnostic competences need significant further development. Hence, in the future, the seminar will be supplemented by video-based learning elements, which in particular address the difficulty of teaching competences in classrooms with a wide variety of pupils.
Enhanced Parameter Estimation with Periodically Driven Quantum Probe

description: We propose a quantum metrology protocol for measuring frequencies and weak forces based on a periodic modulating quantum Jahn-Teller system composed of a single spin interacting with two bosonic modes. We show that in the first order of the frequency drive the time-independent effective Hamiltonian describes spin-dependent interaction between the two bosonic modes. In the limit of high-frequency drive and low bosonic frequency the quantum Jahn-Teller system exhibits critical behaviour which can be used for high-precision quantum estimation. A major advantage of our scheme is the robustness of the system against spin decoherence which allows to perform parameter estimations with measurement time not limited by spin dephasing.

description: Motivated by scanning tunneling microscopy experiments on $A$V$_3$Sb$_5$ ($A$ = Cs, Rb, K) that revealed periodic real-space modulation of electronic states at low energies, I show using model calculations that a triple-{\bf Q} chiral pair density wave (CPDW) is generated in the superconducting state by a charge order of $2a\! \times \!2a$ superlattice periodicity, intertwined with a time-reversal symmetry breaking orbital loop current. In the presence of such a charge order and orbital loop current, the superconducting critical field is enhanced beyond the Chandrasekhar-Clogston limit. The CPDW correlation survives even when the long-range superconducting phase coherence is diminished by a magnetic field or temperature, stabilizing an exotic granular superconducting state above and in the vicinity of the superconducting transition. The presented results suggest that the CPDW can be regarded as the origin of the pseudogap observed near the superconducting transition.

It is shown that the cross section and the electromagnetic form factors are very sensitive to the parameters of the potential. It turns out that final-state interaction due to slightly modified absorptive part of the potential allows us to reproduce available experimental data. We also demonstrated that the cross section in $n\bar{n}$ channel is larger than that in $p\bar{p}$ one, and their ratio is almost energy independent up to 2.2 GeV.

The aim of this democratic evaluation was to look beyond a prescribed view of mentoring to examine how it was understood by different practitioners on a higher education teacher training programme, the range of collective, routinised activities undertaken and the nature of interaction in the mentoring relationship. The findings suggest that the success of the practice depends largely on the extent to which internal and external power dynamics affect the mentoring relationship.
What Is the Prevalence of Social Anxiety Disorder Among Adolescents in Ireland? How Does It Impact Their Lives and How Do Schools Address It?

description: Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is the most common anxiety disorder encountered in adolescence; however, there is little research in this area in Ireland. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of SAD among adolescents in Ireland, how it impacts on their lives and to examine what support is in place in schools to address it. The findings suggest that social anxiety is highly prevalent among the adolescents who participated in this study and it has a huge impact on both their academic and personal lives. It also found that most teachers who participated are not confident identifying or supporting students with social anxiety. The findings promote training for teachers and the use of school-based interventions to enable access to treatment and support for socially anxious adolescents.

description: We present the optical-to-submm spectral energy distributions for 33 radio & mid-IR identified submillimetre galaxies discovered via the SHADES 850 micron SCUBA imaging in the Subaru-XMM Deep Field (SXDF). Optical data for the sources comes from the Subaru-XMM Deep Field (SXDF) and mid- and far-IR fluxes from SWIRE. We obtain photometric redshift estimates for our sources using optical and IRAC 3.6 and 4.5 micron fluxes. We then fit spectral energy distribution (SED) templates to the longer wavelength data to determine the nature of the far-IR emission that dominates the bolometric luminosity of these sources. The infrared template fits are also used to resolve ambiguous identifications and cases of redshift aliasing. The redshift distribution obtained broadly matches previous results for submm sources and on the SHADES SXDF field. Our template fitting finds that AGN, present in about 10% of sources, do not contribute significantly to their bolometric luminosity. Dust heating by starbursts, with either Arp220 or M82 type SEDs, appears to be responsible for the luminosity in most sources (23/33 are fitted by Arp220 templates, 2/33 by the warmer M82 templates). 8/33 sources, in contrast, are fit by a cooler cirrus dust template, suggesting that cold dust has a role in some of these highly luminous objects. Three of our sources appear to have multiple identifications or components at the same redshift, but we find no statistical evidence that close associations are common among our SHADES sources. Examination of rest-frame K -band luminosity suggests that 'downsizing' is underway in the submm galaxy population, with lower redshift systems lying in lower mass host galaxies. Of our 33 identifications six are found to be of lower reliability but their exclusion would not significantly alter our conclusions.

Studies into the mechanism of action of murine interleukin-3
Creators: name: Sorensen, Poul Henrik Bredahl
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The mechanism of action of the hemopoietic growth factor, murine interleukin-3 (mIL-3), was investigated using an mIL-3-dependent multipotential hemopoietic cell line, B6SUtA. These cells were first used to identify the mIL-3 surface receptor as a monomeric 67 kDa protein with a pI of approximately 6.2. Further studies suggested the presence of an additional mIL-3 binding protein with an apparent molecular mass of 140 kDa. Then, in an attempt to gain some insights into the mechanism of action of mIL-3, molecules other than mIL-3 were tested to determine their effects on cell proliferation. Murine granulocyte -macrophage colony-stimulating factor (mGM-CSF) was found to be as potent as mIL-3 in stimulating B6SUtA cells. In addition, sodium orthovanadate, an inhibitor of phosphotyrosine phosphatase, and 12-0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), a known activator of protein kinase C, both stimulated DNA synthesis in these cells, suggesting that protein phosphorylation might be involved in the mechanism of action of mIL-3 and mGM-CSF. To assess this possibility, intact B6SUtA cells exposed for brief periods to mIL-3, mGM-CSF or TPA were analyzed for changes in phosphorylation patterns using metabolic [superscript]32p-labeling. Both mIL-3 and mGM-CSF induced the serine-specific phosphorylation of a 68 kDa cytosolic protein, while all three agents stimulated the serine-specific phosphorylation of a 67 kDa membrane protein. Furthermore, using antibodies to phosphotyrosine, it appeared that mIL-3 stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of 67 kDa and 140 kDa membrane proteins, as well as of 40, 55 and 90 kDa cytosolic proteins. The 90 kDa protein was also tyrosine phosphorylated in response to mGM-CSF, suggesting that this phosphorylation results from a common step in mIL-3 and mGM-CSF-stimulated signaling pathways. These phosphotyrosine containing proteins were not detected in TPA-treated cells. Moreover, evidence from a variety of studies is presented that the 140 kDa but not the 67 kDa mIL-3 receptor becomes phosphorylated on tyrosine residues when B6SUtA cells bind mIL-3.

description: This paper evaluates the impact of a market price support measure (TPSP) on the chemical fertilizer use in China. This policy was implemented by the government to support farmers’ income and grain production in four provinces in Northeast China. This paper collected data of 390 counties before and after the policy implementation, then applied difference-indifferences (DID) and DID-matching approaches to evaluate the treatment effects and find evidence that supports this identification strategy. The results show that an average of approximately 8.7% of chemical fertilizer was overused by each county that implemented the policy compared to the counterfactual scenario with no policy. Our findings suggest that the impact of market price support measures on the environment needs to be considered.
String tension scaling in models of the confined phase

Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)

description: We introduce a D-dimensional Hamiltonian formalism for the study of Polyakov loop models of finite temperature gauge theories in D+1 dimensions. Polyakov loop string tensions are obtained from energy eigenstates of the Hamiltonian. For D=1, the gauge theory reduces to quantum mechanics on the gauge group; for D>1, the Hamiltonian includes hopping terms that link sites on the transverse lattice. The deconfined phase is associated with a ground state which breaks Z(N) symmetry, and Svetitsky-Yaffe critical universality emerges naturally for D>1. A minimal model is proposed which naturally reproduces approximate Casimir scaling for a range of couplings. Different classes of potentials lead to different pictures of how confinement is realized. Such potential energy terms also modify string tension scaling laws, as we demonstrate using two potentials: one representing the perturbative thermal contributions from gluons, and the other arising from magnetic monopoles in certain confining supersymmetric theories.

description: It is necessary to gather real refactoring instances while conducting empirical studies on refactoring. However, existing refactoring detection approaches are insufficient in terms of their accuracy and coverage. Reducing the manual effort of curating refactoring data is challenging in terms of obtaining various refactoring data accurately. This paper proposes a tool named RefactorHub, which supports users to manually annotate potential refactoring-related commits obtained from existing refactoring detection approaches to make their refactoring information more accurate and complete with rich details. In the proposed approach, the parameters of each refactoring operation are defined as a meaningful set of code elements in the versions before or after refactoring. RefactorHub provides interfaces and supporting features to annotate each parameter, such as the automated filling of dependent parameters, thereby avoiding wrong or uncertain selections. A preliminary user study showed that RefactorHub reduced annotation effort and improved the degree of agreement among users.

Lesson Observation: What Is the Problem It’s Solving?
Creators: name: Roberts, D.
Publisher: name: The School of Education and Communities, University of East London
Year: 2019

description: This paper considers the problems presented to teachers, school leaders and schools as a result of the neoliberal revolution and marketisation of the English education system following the 1988 Education Act. The policies created have focused on improving standards in schools by improving the quality of teacher efficacy through creating a national framework of Teachers’ Standards to measure teachers against. The paper examines how lesson observations are implemented to make judgements on the quality of teaching and improve the academic outcomes of young people. It draws on evidence from relevant literature and integrates my own experience as a headteacher having worked in education for 17 years. The paper analyses the problems represented using Bacchi’s (2009) framework, What’s the problem represented to be?, underpinned by the work of Foucault. It explores the influence of disciplinary power and governmentality in relation to the impact of lesson observations on teachers and on schools. Finally, this paper outlines the implications for practice and makes recommendations for the future.
