Interesting. Would we get a better picture if we had all mixed ability groups? https://t.co/QeVzeVnwWy

My latest TES column - why you can't use progress 8 to measure the progress of individual sets. I see lots of schools trying to do this - feels obvious but is flawed!! https://t.co/5mBqjaUZaO

@FakeHeadteacher @moth754 I thought this was called ‘empty praise’ and can actually do more harm than good as students have no idea what they are being praised for. I also thought that by labelling them as smart means that they are less willing to attempt the next challenge.

Year 11 are using the next 10 hwks to revise the Required Practicals. They have to: (1) watch a revision video (2) make notes on the prac (3) complete past paper questions. They've made a great job on Prac 1 so far. #WhatAGoodOneLookLike #GCSEbiology

@MsDowdS10 @AJTF71 @pixlscience @theASE @ScienceSquad_ @AQA @EdexcelScience Could I get involved in this please!!? I have a contact from Ark academies and they have sent me a breakdown of their grade boundaries that they are using for their AQA mock. I was going to use these as they should be broadly similar...

[Dr Sue Thaw @aegilopoides]

@hrogerson @mccormackpj There are lots collated by topic at https://t.co/KivAhXcXVf - not sure about OCR but IGCSE and AQA legacy Q's there.

[Mr Science Teach @secretsciteach]

Agreed, that's what I will do. https://t.co/zTFcdfyr7g

@SciTeach333 Put them into a normal distribution curve for the whole cohort. Have the largest percentage achieving a 5-4 to be safe and curve it from there.

[Mr Science Teach @secretsciteach]

@staffdb66 @AJTF71 @pixlclub @pixlscience If you are with edexcel we have been using an online platform called @educake which works really well when students RAG rate each spec point

[Mr Science Teach @secretsciteach]

@staffdb66 @AJTF71 @pixlclub @pixlscience We have been using the smith proforma generator. If you drop @AJTF71 a message I'm sure she will guide you in the right direction!

@Ofstednews Effectiveness of homework and book marking

[Mr Science Teach @secretsciteach]

@Tassomai thank you. @educake seemed to work well. They have questions broken down by spec points. It was a perfect partner to the Pixl PLCS

[Mr Science Teach @secretsciteach]

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks. https://t.co/Sa9zflDvGG

@secretsciteach Educake I think

[Mr Science Teach @secretsciteach]

Does anyone know if there is a science equivalent to the maths website pinpoint learning. Self generating homework questions based on exams

[Mr Science Teach @secretsciteach]

@AJTF71 @pixlclub @pixlscience smith proforma worked brilliantly! Thank you. Emailed all my students today with revision exercises.

[Mr Science Teach @secretsciteach]

@AJTF71 @pixlclub @pixlscience I'm struggling to get the one for edexcel from huddle to work? Is there a glitch with this one?

[Mr Science Teach @secretsciteach]

Going to setup a VLE using @moodle anyone using this already?

[Mr Science Teach @secretsciteach]

Using A-level biology PLCs, going red hunting but also giving students access to doc with links to specific exam questions 👍🏻@pixlscience
