It is 57 days since GCSE Results Day. Today, 62 @CulchethHS students had their GCSE grade in a subject increased by a grade with 9 increased by 2 grades. In the mean time, students didn’t get in to college. Students didn’t get on first choice courses. 1/3
Are we guilty of getting too caught up in the aesthetics of lessons sometimes? What I felt was my best lesson this half term involved minimal planning, a whiteboard and a pen - no fancy resources or slides. A personal reminder that sometimes, less is more.
School open evenings. When I was a kid you used to pitch up, tour the school, have a chat to the teachers.
Nowadays there’s pyrotechnics, a Great British Bake-Off and a circus. All of which bears zero resemblance to what actually happens when you get to school... 🧐
Boring tweet number 2. Today I received a GCSE English remark that went from a grade 6 to a grade 9. Not 3 marks increase, 3 grades. This is a disgrace is it not??
I want to open my own airport. I believe we need to change the way we fly planes. I want more of a focus on aerial stunts and emergency water landings because they’re fun! I’ve got no idea how a control tower works but I won’t let that stop me. @BBCWomansHour@tombennett71
Watched a primary PE lesson today, led by sports coaches to give the teachers PPA time. A boring lesson and no motivation for the students. At such a young age these students need to love PE, they need enjoyment and encouragement #grassroots
@thebizpe just wondering about which protocol students should use for the 30m sprint test. Your book says to use a stationary start whereas another AQA textbook says to use a flying start? Which would be awarded credit in an exam?
To those who watch international rugby and think 'yeah, I could do that' - think again. We've seen Bryan Habana vs a cheetah... now watch him vs a normal human being. Poor Spreaders... #TheOffload
@gcsepe2017 My understanding is that you only need individual candidate footage if a video moderation has been requested. Recording of a live moderation match can be more ‘general’.
