@Simon_Richards8 I would award no marks - “” must be from correct method. Method not shown. I presume they are doubling (which is incorrect). If they had shown their method one could defer to Chief Examiner as a miscopy of 4 - doubt it would be given though.

@Bloomgabs @Headteacherchat … and, the OHP allowed for live modelling, facing our students … got used to having blue/black stained hands … a vintage visualiser it was.

@Headteacherchat Shout out for the OHP!! 😄

@ianwhite21 @JessicaKulynych If I dig my heels in with the above, I get a higher success rate with C4U thereafter.

[Sharon Dixon @SdixonSharon]

@ianwhite21 @JessicaKulynych Hands empty and eyes on me/board when I am modelling an example (no note-taking) or giving instructions on what to do.

[Sharon Dixon @SdixonSharon]

@ianwhite21 @JessicaKulynych During these times I prioritise cold-calling C4L rather than C4U … ‘what did I just say?’ ‘what must you do?’ Sanctions for not paying attention as this wastes learning time when I need to repeat something.

[Sharon Dixon @SdixonSharon]

@ianwhite21 When C4U and bouncing questions around, ‘please repeat what A said’ - has improved attention.

[Sharon Dixon @SdixonSharon]

@ianwhite21 Recently been deliberate in checking for listening - cold calling to ask ‘what was my question?’ and holding students accountable if they don’t know … keeps the majority alert.

@deelomas For me, it’s when my husband is referred to as my ‘hubby’.

The main issue in judging schools is that there is no exam for character, to judge the decency and morality of children leaving school.

So we all only value academic results.

But what matters most for the country’s future is who kids are as people, the adults they will be.
