@VEverettmfl Only the main Pearson one, not a languages one I’m afraid. The simple answer is no it can’t be done remotely. But if you drop me an email I can link you to our HHCL guides. I’ll DM the ema address.

@BexN91 Do you have a work twitter? I have some questions about Home Language GCSEs and whether the speaking exam can be done via Zoom?

Pleased to be at the Association of School and College Leaders conference for strategic leadership of languages today. A great opportunity to hear a range of voices in languages eduction and get to speak to colleagues from various organisations.

#Languages are ‘too hard’ & are ‘not for me’ – how often have you heard students say this in the #MFL classroom? Esmerelda Salgado & Rebecca Waker (@BexN91 @PearsonSchools) offer tips for overcoming these attitudes: buff.ly/4gMgRSG #TEACHers

A pleasure to have been asked to contribute to this with @BotonesSalgado 😊

@katielockett @La_Biologuita These are exactly the sites I used too. Plus looking directly at exam boards and other orgs that were linked to education.

@La_Biologuita Depends what you want to do. But I knew I wanted to stay in education. Looked in the ‘other’ sections of TES & ETeach, on Jobs.ac.uk and on charityjob.co.uk and directly on the websites of the organisations I was interested in.

@Jimois80 It’s also on the qualification page in the teaching and learning materials section, or I recorded a version which is on YouTube.

@Jimois80 Hi, sorry I’m not working until Wednesday and this is my personal account. There is a presentation I’d be happy to link you to if you drop me an email to the address on the website though.

Are you @tmmflicons ? #tmmfl Here are the @PearsonEdexcel links I mentioned: pearson.com/en-gb/schools/…

@branwenjeffreys Now I have a much better work/life balance, I’m healthier as I can eat better and exercise. I’m also not exhausted and needing holidays so badly.

@branwenjeffreys Didn’t expect to leave teaching, I loved teacher development and improving teaching practice but I was done. Left to work for an exam board supporting teachers every day but without being in the classroom myself.

Earlier today the new Education Secretary said teachers were leaving in droves - I'm interested to hear your stories of why - and what you went on to do

@senorcordero So excited to see what your next chapter is going to bring for you 🥳🎉

@cathsbruv @Arsenal @PearsonEdexcel Oh that’s a real shame 🙁

@BexN91 @Arsenal @PearsonEdexcel Gutted we had to pull out at the last minute. Hope it was good.

Pleasure to be here @Arsenal Emirates Stadium today for the @PearsonEdexcel Celebration of Languages. #MFLTwitterati

Had to be done whilst I’m here, didn’t it? 🤣

Steve Eadon @MingalabaUK sharing with hundreds of students how he went from never liking languages to landing his dream job at #ArsenalFC! Watch this space to find out more! #MoreThanWords a #CelebrationOfLanguages #LanguageLearning

I’d need to be in about 3 places at once on Saturday if I tried to tune into this too, but it looks set to be another great one!

@lewizrs *some school firewalls

@lewizrs Hi, it’s an issue with school firewalls. Try it on something not connected to school wifi, like a phone, and should be ok 😊

Why is it impossible to create a suitable password for the Pearson website?!

@MrsThorne @MrsBallAP @miss_tiggr It’s great to hear that the episodes are still being listened to!

I was reminded of this kind of messy modelling, complete with my on-the-spot redrafting and indicating how my argument is shaped by where my knowledge is strongest, by @MrsBallAP's bit in @BexN91's podcast review of The Lost Girls by @miss_tiggr. A perfectly timed listen for me.

I've had a great week with my exam classes and a visualiser. This close to the exams, I want to make the revision about application of knowledge, so I've been live-planning their choice of past questions and then writing most of an answer while they write along #historyteacher

@senorcordero Not a sports fan myself but we enjoyed going to see a Blue Jays game just for the atmosphere.
