Feeling very proud and appreciated ☺️

Colleges in England have written to Pearson demanding a review of an "exceptional and unfair grade boundary increase" in an English language GCSE exam designed for resit students - but the exam board says it's confidence in the grades

Exclusive: Exam board Pearson has defended its decision to 'significantly' hike up the grade boundary for a GCSE English resit exam after 'shocked' college leaders complained of lower-than-expected pass rates and threatened legal action https://t.co/OeZXI6daQM

[Melissa Bowes @MrsMBowes]

This is an interesting @TeacherTapp question today. A difficult one to answer as someone teaching GCSE English to those who need to resit! Wanted an option for ‘it depends on the individual learner’. Thoughts #TeamEnglish #EnglishFE?

I can’t stop thinking about Claudias extensive, yet stunning glove collection. #TheTraitors

@readingtoescape Also an interesting point! I identify as a ‘teacher’ and my background is secondary. Maybe an interesting follow-up question around previous experiences @laura_kayes.

[Melissa Bowes @MrsMBowes]

Interesting question this week, FE folk 👇🏻

I wonder if those who teach GCSE E&M resit tend to identify more as teachers?

[Melissa Bowes @MrsMBowes]

Interesting results today ⁦@TeacherTapp⁩! I’m surprised nearly the same amount of people earn additional money tutoring as marking exam papers.

[Melissa Bowes @MrsMBowes]

After our office’s October step challenge, I’m looking forward to November’s more sedentary well-being activity! Planned out most of my reads for book bingo already 🤓📚

The Little Book of #GenerativeAI prompts for teachers

Here it is, a compilation of my recent one-pagers with prompts for different subjects across the curriculum, global in outlook with helpful pointers for UK curricula too.

The book includes prompts for most subjects and additionally has sections on bias, ethics, prompt design, and a section of useful resources from the likes of @OfficeofEdTech @educationgovuk @AlKingsley_Edu @TeacherDevTrust @ISTEofficial @rarthurtweets @asklauraknight @educationweek and more.

I hope you find it useful, I'd love to hear how you get on with it.
