no one: Perhaps you can get in his favor by performing well at your job, rather than slacking off chatting to someone who is no one. man: It gets quite lonely on this mesa, with only sheep to talk to. Talking to anyone, even a no one, is better than no conversation at all. But, you're right, I must get back to work! no one: Don't feel bad. Everyone needs someone some time. Even a no one. man: Here, take these fish that I have just caught down by the river. They will make a great dinner for you tonight, in repayment of your kindness and conversation today. No one's need to eat too! no one: Thank you for your kindness. I'll watch the area for more scorpions for you. man: These scorpions are such a bother! I have to sleep with one eye open, watching for those stinging creatures. If you see one, kill it on sight. no one: Yes. Even as a no one I was once stung by one. I love to kill them!

#Person1#: What made you join the Tai Chi Club, Monica? #Person2#: I used to like to play volleyball and tennis. Now, I just want to try a sport, which is not that intense for a change. #Person1#: Why didn't you choose yoga? It's very popular nowadays, and also involves less physical intensity. #Person2#: Well, another reason why I chose Tai Chi, was because I always have a fascination with Chinese culture. #Person1#: How does Tai Chi relate to Chinese culture? I thought is just a way of exercise. #Person2#: It's more than that, the core concept of Tai Chi is to find balance in your life, like if you eat too much, you'll become overweight. But if you don't eat enough, you'll suffer other health problems, the key is, never too much, nor too less. #Person1#: Wow, that's deep, but you get tired after you do Tai Chi? I know you have heavy work. #Person2#: Quite the opposite. After playing Tai Chi, my mind is more relaxed and it's much easier for me to get focused.
Monica tells #Person1# that she joins Tai Chi Club and the core concept of Tai Chi is to find balance in people's life. Her mind is more relaxed after doing Tai Chi.
Sian Gwenllian AM: Thinking about you as a Minister trying to see what the longterm trends are with regard to raising standards and improving educational attainment is that difficult because the performance measures have changed have not they ? We can not compare likeforlike now because of the changes that have been made in the way that performance is measured So to begin with is that a challenge to see whether progress has been made ? And secondly what evidence do you as Minister use to look at the longterm trends ? Kirsty Williams AM: The first thing to say with regard to changes to performance measures—you are right that change to those does make it in some cases more difficult to look at trends over a period of time But those changes are made for really good reasons If we change a performance measure it is done to ensure that it is in the best interests of learners And I think the best interests of learners always trumps the ease of comparison I understand that for researchers and for opposition Members even for Ministers it would be simpler to have the same set of measures over a period of time But if we know that those things are driving behaviours that are unhelpful to children and not in the best interests of children then we have to change them even thought that then does create challenges in different areas With regard to what do we look at there are a number of ways that we gain data and look at data in the system : everything from the categorisation system we spoke of earlier and trends in categorisation we look at Estyn reports we continue to look at examination results But we are trying to develop a broader range of data and statistics that give us a whole picture of the education performance rather than narrowing down on one simple indicator that tells you one thing but does not tell you everything But I do not know Steve if there is anything further that you would like to add Steve Davies: It is going back to what the Member raised earlier in terms of the range of things that you look at—things that can make a difference So when Estyn review schools or we are looking to develop national frameworks for things like mental health and wellbeing which look to the practice that enables raising standards it is collecting that information both at a national level through the annual review of Estyn as well as our engagement with regions and local authorities So it is looking at the evidence base that goes beyond but impacts on data And inevitably we will use the Programme for International Student Assessment and any other external assessments that come through organisations like the OECD And even where we have changed the performance measures we still have at national level the ongoing data So if you looked at level 2 plus we believe it is important that children get five good GCSEs—for higher education and for employment So we have not lost sight of those at a national level—we are not using them as a narrow set of performance measures for individual schools Kirsty Williams AM: So if we look at—level 2 plus is a good example We know that a relentless focus on that single measure as a way of judging the system leads to a set of behaviours in schools It narrows the focus onto a certain part of the cohort it narrows the curriculum when we know that children— Sian Gwenllian AM: I am not challenging the fact that you have changed the performance measures—I understand that and having a broader way of looking is better in the long run I am just saying because there is been this change it makes it more of a challenge—whilst accepting why you have made the changes but it does present more of a challenge presumably because you have to look at more indicators and take evidence from different places But I take it that you are confident that the trajectory is going in the right way Kirsty Williams AM: Yes I think we are making improvements But you are right : it does make it more challenging But those changes are being made for the right reasons as I said whether that be at level 2 plus Look at English literature I understand why perhaps a performance measure around English was introduced but the effect of that was that significant numbers of children—and it must be said usually children who are entitled to free school meals—were suddenly not sitting English literature GCSE We have changed that performance measure and guess what ? Last year we saw a significant increase in the number of children that were sitting English literature GCSE For standards of literacy and oracy I think studying literature is really really important before we even get into the joy of introducing children to the written word and the love of reading So we make changes Yes it causes challenges but we are making those changes because we believe that they are in the best interest of children and that has to trump ease of comparison Sian Gwenllian AM: Why have you decided to ask the consortia Estyn and so on not to report on local data or regional level data ? How do we then come to conclusions about what is working if it is not presented on a local authority and regional basis ? Kirsty Williams AM: Well I think the thing to say about the communications from Welsh Government Estyn and the WLGA is it is not about not communicating the data it is about challenging people on how that data should be used So the data is still available but it is a challenge to them about how to use that data So for instance when we are presenting data that compares local authority to local authority you could have a local authority that says There we go I am above the national average I do not need to worry about the education in my local authority because I am above the average or I am better than my neighbour That does not necessarily mean that everything is right in your local education authority Perhaps your children should be doing even better than what you are presented with So actually it is not about hiding data it is about how you use the data appropriately And sometimes how we were presenting data in the past was lulling some people into a false sense of security about the performance of their system So it is about how you use data and that is what the communication from Welsh Government and the WLGA and Estyn was about : think very carefully about this data and what it is telling you about your system and do not be lulled into a false sense of security that you may be doing brilliantly Or perhaps looking at your data you may think Oh my goodness me we are not doing very well at all but actually more careful consideration of that might show that your schools impact on those children is really really a positive one So you have got to use that data in the context So it is not about less data If anything it is about more data and crucially for me it is about more intelligent use and interrogation of that data about truly what it is telling you about your system Sian Gwenllian AM: But again the Welsh Government— You have continued to publish the local and regional level data So does not that contradict what you have been telling the consortia and everyone else ? Kirsty Williams AM: No not at all As I said we are not in the business of trying to hide data—I believe absolutely in full transparency And in terms of level 2 data I think I am not moving away from the point that I think it is really important that more and more children get five really good GCSEs I think it is important for their life chances It is about how that data is used not about hiding data or making that data not available Steve Davies: Can I very briefly— ? We did not just send a letter out collectively We have now carried out training jointly with WLGA and Estyn on how to use that data So it is not just looking where your LA is it is also not looking at whether your schools better than average for the authority And it is well received and it should broaden the approach of scrutiny committees to beyond what historically was if I am honest looking at the league table for their authority or looking at the league table of local authorities It is not that they should not be looking at that but they need to dig much much deeper underneath it
According to Kirsty, they were trying to develop a broader range of data and statistics that gave them a whole picture of the education performance, rather than narrowing down on one simple indicator that told only one aspect. They would use the Program for International Student Assessment, and any other external assessments that came through organizations like OECD. In addition, they believed that all the challenges and changes involved were made for the right reasons. What was crucial was that it was about more intelligent use of data and what was truly telling about the system.
#Person1#: Look at you, you are so cute. Hey, does this guy have a name? #Person2#: Yes, that's Hopper. We call him that because of how he likes to jump around and eat a lot of carrots. #Person1#: He seems to be getting along with the other animals, too. #Person2#: All of the animals you see here have been rescued, and in most cases, they are separated from their mothers. They're all like brothers and sisters. #Person1#: I have a dog and a cat at home. Do you think it would be too stressful for him? #Person2#: Not at all. As long as your animals are well trained, it shouldn't be a problem. You should get a cage for him, though. #Person1#: Is he healthy? Or does he need to be taken to an animal doctor first? #Person2#: He's 100% healthy. #Person1#: I'll take him. Come here, Hopper.
