Plan B from @sqanews. It looks like they will give advance warning on which Scottish text will be in the exam. Notes allowed in the AH Literary Study. Pretty dramatic!

I remember scrambling around trying to find a placement, then ended up in two of the best departments ever. I hope these nine students are as lucky as I was.

Still true?

SQA: No exams next year!
Teachers: Okay, so what do you want us to do instead?
SQA: Exams in classrooms please ;).

[𝗦 𝗔 𝗧 𝗘 @SATEfeed]

Will cancelling exams make your students more or less anxious and stressed? Would love to hear why!

[𝗦 𝗔 𝗧 𝗘 @SATEfeed]

Will proposed additional payments to teachers reduce concerns about extra workload after exams have been cancelled?

[𝗦 𝗔 𝗧 𝗘 @SATEfeed]

Also: @JohnSwinney announces that the @scotgov will pay teachers in recognition of their role in marking SQA courses this year.

Great idea! Hope the kids give themselves a treat for each one completed too...

Would people be interested in a session on #edtech in the English classroom?

[𝗦 𝗔 𝗧 𝗘 @SATEfeed]

Interesting when considering equity of exams for the current session. Of course, it would also be good to know if there were historical regional difference in general rates of attendance.

[Dr Barry Black @BarryBlackNE]

When we look at local authorities, the change in attendance from the average in 2018/19 to last week is stark.

Attendance is down 8.55% in Glasgow, compared to being up by 0.3% in Shetland, for example.
