Excellent article. It’s mad that Behaviour Hubs don’t measure in progress. This is probably because in education, it doesn’t matter if you are traditional or progressive, your ‘view’ is so entrenched you find the statistics to prove your position is right - and ignore those that show otherwise. I worked with Ashmole - and they were very different. The senior team used objective statistical measures to judge success - like progress. My school improved both for culture and progress scores - and working with Ashmole certainly influenced that. I would recommend Ashmole. Like anything in education - check a school or MATs progress and context before accepting that their ‘way’ works is my view.
Yes, I'm gutted that Progress Measures will disappear for at least 2 years, and schools will pursue blind faith or, as they will call it, moral purpose. Your moral purpose is to find out if the things you do are changing things for the better. Not just to assume it will because your intentions are sound. We are teachers, and our intentions are always sound - it goes with the job.
