Did not see this coming!

There's an Ofqual consultation on potentially continuing to give GCSE equation sheets for the next three years.

@edmunds_dr @STEMyBanda It’s ok don’t worry. Thank you as ever for your brilliant resources.

@edmunds_dr @STEMyBanda Ah damn. I bought the 3 books and now the merged book in order to get the practical section haha.

The more schools I see the more I become convinced that implementing detentions should almost always be a whole school system, rather than something left up to individual classroom teachers to issue, communicate and hold, especially where it comes to follow up for non-attendance.

It just guarantees a huge variation in consistency. Because it relies on the teacher having the confidence, organisation, willpower and workload to implement it, and those are factors that wax and wane depending on the circumstances.

Arguments that this degrades the teacher’s ‘agency’ never seem to describe what, precisely, the benefits of this agency actually are.

The first job of any incoming head of department is to do...nothing.

Take your time. Figure things out. Don't rock the boat until you've identified the thing that really needs changing.

That applies to anything: booklets, T&L, starters, homework platform, admin...whatever.

@MissLowesSci Higher or foundation?

@Yerriso @SimonThorneloe

[Ellis Griffiths @GriffithsEllis]

@AdelleRowland @MrARobbins Yes exactly that. Teachers being unfairly judged during book looks that little is happening in the lesson. Reams of beautiful notes is a poor proxy for learning, but sometimes leadership’s eyes would light up

[Ellis Griffiths @GriffithsEllis]

@STEMyBanda Haha same happened with me too! Guess we should collaborate what we think about chem and phys
