These replies my days

1. It sounds awesome. Observing and being observed is the best way to get better at teaching faster

2. If you don't like it, don't apply, don't be a whiny eduloser in the replies

3. I'd bet my house that there's a strong correlation between "not wanting to be observed" and "sucking as a teacher"

Once again, we often show ourselves to not be a serious profession.

[The Oaklands Primary School @TheOaklandsBham]

Thank you to the pupils at @Ninestiles who came to read to our Year 2 pupils today and listened to them read their books. #reading 📖

On their way back now. I missed the last few days but what an amazing week. Weather. Hard work. Memories for life.

[Ibraheem Talib @IBTalib1986]

Quanting. Hard work. That's over a ton of boat she's pushing.

[Ibraheem Talib @IBTalib1986]

@acharya_molly @Bloomgabs Possibly but I simply haven't looked at it in depth yet.

We've have double the number ask for a remark for language than for lit but lit grades have been more contentious as students when off are well off.

Longer questions are more open to subjective marking.

[Ibraheem Talib @IBTalib1986]

@acharya_molly @Bloomgabs Lit marking the examiners mark the entire paper. Language is broken down question by question.

The above scenario (20+ marks out) would be more difficult in a language paper as essentially 1 paper is marked by 5 examiners as there are 5 questions.

[Em @Bloomgabs]

#edutwitter FYI one of my students has just gone up 22 marks on the Lit papers. Worth going through the process…
