@adamboxer1 Keep an exercise book on your desk. Date every day. Note every single conversation, discipline (phone/ person) about a child and keep doing it forever. Saves incredible amounts of time and resists duplication.
@cravenscience1@adamboxer1@MrARobbins@Mr_Raichura@MissBird90 I use books - title, Do now and date at the start of every lesson. Students write out the question if they don’t know the answer or just write the answer if they do. Means I can sweep room and see where gaps are in prep for re-teaching. Go through answers with cold call usually
Hugely humbled by the speed with which people have rallied behind my new account following my @Strickomaster account being hacked. Hugely appreciated.

@STEMyBanda @MissBird90 Think there’s a difference between the concept of combined science and the curriculum within the course. I’m sure we all have *many* opinions on what should actually be in specifications
@MissBird90 Completely agree! The headline is massively misleading and I’m with you that combined science is a perfectly rigorous course. I think the data is skewed from “separate sciences lead to A level” because of course it does if kids are interested in science
@MissBird90 I’ve always taken issue with “Science” as a collective term in schools. I know there are links and I know the practical management is the same etc but the content is fundamentally different. I have a Bio degree from an A Level in Bio, I don’t wish to teach the others but do.
@MissBird90 I think it’s interesting that the article ends with “we won’t mandate it but we want all schools to offer separate sciences” I don’t mind that so much, choice is important for everyone.
I do take issue with it being taught by “specialists” which will be retrained bio/chem staff
