Any reccomendations for teacher planners with a week view, I really struggle with the day-by-day view!

[Mr Chate @edu_chate]

Any reccomendations for wireless visualisers?

We are looking for some for our more practical subjects (Catering/D&T)

[Mr Chate @edu_chate]

@ashleigh_pain Yes please!

[Mr Chate @edu_chate]

Art, Textile, & Photography Moderation ✔️

Can't wait to invite staff to have a look around tomorrow morning.

[Mr Chate @edu_chate]

Has anyone used Timetabler to ensure multiple year groups are not scheduled into the changing rooms at the same time?

What is the best approach using pools or special resources?

A much more friendly J277/02 with more accessible questions and less flicking between pages.... will be interesting to see how the MS and grade boundaries compare.

@Ofstednews GCSE Computer Science subject content update is out 👀

It makes for some very interesting reading about the future of the subject and inclusion of visual langauges, but also lacks some clarity on some areas.

Make sure to fill out the survey!

[Mr Chate @edu_chate]

@ComputingCottee They just have to do one Q which has to assess QWC, I think they might be naughty. They've not assessed systems software yet either in J277!

[Mr Chate @edu_chate]

KS4 CS Hive-mind!

I am using this to help students prep for their 8 mark essay questions (I am thinking this year it will not be on 1.6 and potentially 1.2 storage...)

Any thoughts

@PastoralThings Yes please

Fantastic CPD this morning from @HYWEL_ROBERTS , looking at "Botheredness". It was great to see how creativity and stories can be intertwinned into a curriculumn- no matter the subject!

A very non-education question, but does anyone have any tips on buying their first home?

Are there any teacher perks I should be aware of?

[Mr Chate @edu_chate]

I've learnt a lot after taking my first ever sick day(s) after succumbing to COVID for the first time (A surprise I know).

The main thing is that I am surronded by lots of lovely colleagues who have gone above to check-in on me and have made sure I am rested.

We are running low on Micro:bits, #eduhive where can I buy them!

[Mr Chate @edu_chate]

@niall_m Whoops thank you so much!

[Mr Chate @edu_chate]

Computing edu-hive!

What are your thoughts on this PRIMM(ish) style of worksheet? Any feedback welcome- I am tryimg to get my KS4 students more independant!

[Mr Chate @edu_chate]

@MrWalker_CS That would be great! DM me your e-mail and I will ping it over tomorrow!

[Mr Chate @edu_chate]

@MrWalker_CS I shall do- I am going to trail it tomorrow with my Year10s and might need to adapt!

This book I found to be very thought provoking, but the "worksheets" throughout the book make it feel much more engaging. Great examples of dealing with tricky situations

I thought I would start a thread of all the edu-books that I am reading in 2024.... let's get cracking

#2 Making KS3 Count. Another very good short read with "stand alone" chapters- provides practical answers to some quite difficult situations.

Really enjoyed not reading about KS4 outcomes for a change! Thanks for the reccomendation @AdelePlanA
