Ralph Taberrer
Description
In a frank and open discussion, Estelle Morris asks Ralph Taberrer about his job as Director General of Schools and the task of implementing frequently changing government policy. Ralph reveals that, in his opinion, previous failures haven't been down to bad ideas, but bad implementation. Estelle pushes Ralph on the recent White Paper and what it actually means in terms of practical developments in schools. We also hear about Ralph's time at the Training and Development Agency and how he transformed teacher recruitment. Finally, he explains what challenges he thinks the teaching profession faces today.
