Anybody know anything of https://t.co/McJ9KT0uyG selling revision subscriptions? I have some parents asking about it and I have not come across this before.

🤔 Best intervention for students outcomes? It’s easy to implement and costs schools nothing!

If any school leadership can encourage their key stage 4 and 5 students to have a great night’s sleep - and make it a habit - they will be supporting memory consolidation and retrieval …

@missherd1 @Team_English1 Stealing this link, thank you !

@QEMrsWright How can we expect the kids to keep resitting GCSEs if educators don't even need them?

[Sarah Jane Ellis @sellis2005]

@ModernCassie No such thing as a fish (producers of QI) and Diary of a CEO.

[Sarah Jane Ellis @sellis2005]

@GCSE_Macbeth Yellowface - compelling and thought provoking

[Sarah Jane Ellis @sellis2005]

@AidanSevers A framework of go to lessons or skeleton lessons - free to do your own thing with them 😁. Preplanned can be a lifesaver, great for new staff or cover, but definitely autonomy and creativity is the fun bit. We can be trusted!

@MsKenEnglish @Team_English1 It's amazing 🤩

[Sarah Jane Ellis @sellis2005]

@Ruby_RubidiumRb @WomenEd Found it really flexible. Did it on weekends and was given some time during the assessment window which was a godsend.

[Sarah Jane Ellis @sellis2005]

@Miss_JRO85 @Team_English1 The role of AI and how it will change the working landscape? Or machines replacing genuine human interaction, right down to self scanners - flipping nuisance!

[Sarah Jane Ellis @sellis2005]

@svwithers @Team_English1 I've used it in a previous school as part of a literacy drive and found it really accessible and easy to monitor 👍

@TeacherBusy @Team_English1 Haven't taught it, but Lion is amazing 🤩

[Sarah Jane Ellis @sellis2005]

@LiteracyLau @Team_English1 Henry Mayhew's book about London Labour ... Can't remember the specific title, it's on my shelf somewhere.

[Sarah Jane Ellis @sellis2005]

@emhoneyreads Now that's the kind of stuff we should be teaching at school 😱

[Sarah Jane Ellis @sellis2005]

@HughesHaili Little Red Cap though... made my Year 12s uncomfortable today. Each year their reactions are so varied. We picked it apart. I love that poem. So much to discuss.

[Sarah Jane Ellis @sellis2005]

@shadylady222 @Team_English1 I have also taken the plunge and am experimenting with this text. It would be good to know if it's a popular choice. I asked Year 9 to pick from a few I'd narrowed it down to and they went with this title.

[Sarah Jane Ellis @sellis2005]

@nealebake @dl070790 @Team_English1 Literally was going to suggest the poetry thing 😁

[Sarah Jane Ellis @sellis2005]

@EngChatUK I second blind marking. Adopted it for TAG, actually very useful. Perhaps not all time, but for assessments it is useful. It also helps us divide the load too when our class sizes differ.

@missarksey @Team_English1 Training the kids is 🗝️
