Over the last three years, I have been completing my masters alongside teaching full-time.
If any of you are teachers in the UK and can spare 15 minutes to help me out, I would appreciate if you could complete the linked questionnaire:

What impact does the inclusion of tier 2 vocabulary in mathematics GCSEs have on students with EAL?

https://t.co/0A9sRVpu1n

If you can spare 10-15 minutes by completing the above questionnaire, you will help me in answering this question (and others) as part of my MA.

Thanks!

Does the language in GCSE Mathematics exams disadvantage students with EAL? #edutwitter
If you are a secondary school teacher in the UK and can spare 15-20 mins to answer my Masters questionnaire, I hope to provide an answer to the question above.
Thanks

If anyone in the secondary teaching community can spare 15 minutes to help me out - I would greatly appreciate it!

I am looking to find out what are teachers perceptions of the inclusion of Tier Two Vocabulary in GCSE mathematics papers. Please share this survey as I would love as many responses as possible, not just by maths teachers.

@MISSNTEACHING I've felt like this since I started back after the summer. If you find the magic solution, please share - I swear I've tried everything (secondary)

[Zoë @ZParadoxical]

@jennbeams @Gwenelope So my school does a parents day. It runs from 1pm till 7:30pm, and is for 3 year groups. It happens twice a year. There are no lessons in the morning, and teachers aren't expected to be in much before 1pm. There are ways to make it better.

@PatriciaOLynn However you have made a claim about research you've undertaken that disagrees with the statement, yet are not willing to back up your claim by sharing the actual research. https://t.co/tMlY7gGqVE

[Dr Patricia O'Lynn @PatriciaOLynn]

@tombennett71 In my research, children were excluded for wearing the wrong shoes, turning up to school late due to caring responsibilities, having an older sibling who caused disruption, being illiterate and unable to answer questions correctly and other violations that come with poverty.

@emmccatt One to eat hot or cold:

Dry roasted potatoes, carrots and red onion.
Roasted kale.
Toasted almonds.
Balsamic vinegar.

I sometimes also add veggie bacon.

@lspraggan Me and my fiancé are attending your Birmingham show and are so excited! We're actually using Lucky Stars as our first dance at our wedding at the beginning of June!

@bunsenbernerbmd Not sure about artsy.... It's not her best angle

[Zoë @ZParadoxical]

Tears of joy were shed watching this inspiration this morning. I can only hope my lessons also spark so much joy

[Dave McPartlin @dave_mcpartlin]

I'll never forget my first Ofsted lesson observation, as an NQT, when they said I couldn't rely on this level of energy to engage and enthuse my class as it would diminish as I got older. I hope they get to watch this, 20 years later. 🤔

@bunsenbernerbmd This one, or at least by @weasdown, gets called Popsteroni Pizza...

@Alemap63 @agrindrod1 @NEUnion There's definitely support - we had parents and students joining us on the picket line. We also had a lovely local deliver bacon sandwiches to us all whilst we were out.

[Zoë @ZParadoxical]

@carla4444444 @Thinkingschool2 I don't know of any schools that start teaching at 7:20am? Most are between 8:30 and 9:00.

Children also get a lot more breaks than is legally required by workplace laws for adults.

[Zoë @ZParadoxical]

@Vanessa88085419 @KKNTeachLearn Most unions will also protect you if you refuse to cross the picket line of a different union's strike

[Zoë @ZParadoxical]

@Doozykins @Mobius__Trip @KKNTeachLearn I believe a lot of education unions (including the NEU) who support non teaching educational staff have a hardship fund if the strike is going to affect you financially. To me it sounds like you would have a case if you applied. Sending love x
