@overpractised giving a superb explanation of the key ways to apply retrieval practice for the biggest benefits...the best explanation I've come across...and I thought I was already quite informed on the subject! #TandLSummit

[Yamina B @msybibi]

@C_Hendrick It’s not enough to know our subject, we need to know it in different ways. We need to know how students might misunderstand it. #TandLSummit

Two weeks ago Miss Whittle, from the Geography department delivered an excellent T&L talk to staff titled ‘Familiarity in lesson Structure’ to help build confidence in the classroom. She covered an awful lot in only 30mins.
A link to the talk is here https://t.co/OIihX3KOyI

@CambridgeInt @_EuanMacLean @Cam_Assessment Euan If you look at the grade boundaries sheet produced with each set of exam papers you can see what units are added together to create the different overall codes!

@GOoutdoors @VirginWines Can I please just win a refund and the jumper I actually ordered- you delivered the wrong one and have yet to respond to any contact

[Chlöe Whittle @Celoise13]

@GOoutdoors contacting you for the 4th time after ignored emails and a previous tweet. You delivered an incorrect item to me and apparently I can’t exchange for the actual one I ordered. You’re not picking up the phone on your ‘24/7’ contact line. Please advise- don’t say “DM me”
