@HelenMars4 @Team_English1 @thedaytweets Have looked into this and booked a zoom walk through next week. Is it expensive?

@MissJoyceNE @Team_English1 Have you subscribed to The Day? So useful @thedaytweets

Currently looking at our form time literacy sessions. Aiming to move to using non-fiction articles linked to current affairs (International women's day, Earth day etc.) Does anyone do anything like this? #teamenglish @Team_English1

Has anyone else ever stopped marking halfway through a quota for AQA? Will I eventually get paid for what I managed? #teamenglish @Team_English1

@GHOEnglish @Team_English1 @AQAEnglish Same, it's something I really appreciated from the Language marking. I'm confident in my knowledge of Lit from teaching experience but am concerned my judgement of levels might not be 100%

@MissJoyceNE @Team_English1 @AQAEnglish I did it for the first time last year coming from marking Lang on another board. Was surprised at lack of breakdown/walk through of the paper. It’s always helped me get off to a flying start.

Hello @Team_English1 people. I'm marking AQA Lit paper 1 this year for the first time. I've marked Language twice previously. I've not received any training from AQA in terms of breaking down the mark scheme etc. Is this normal? I've tried to chase @AQAEnglish but got nowhere.

@mrs_porch @Team_English1 I was looking at YARC and they advise it to be used alongside NGRT - what do you think?

@MissJoyceNE @Team_English1 YARC is my go to. Also PHABs are good but intensive.

Literacy question - what assessment do you use to determine where students may need additional reading support? Looking for a test which will highlight specific needs such as phonics, decoding, comprehension etc. for our incoming Yr. 7s #teamenglish @Team_English1

@julesinschools @Team_English1 Yes please!

@MissJoyceNE @Team_English1 We’ve been working on this a LOT in the past two years. Happy to DM if it would help?

Dear @Team_English1 team, I have a group of 3 Yr. 11s who are weak and have high absence for around 8 sessions before they start their exams. I'm looking to focus on the Language GCSE. Does anyone have any 'crash course' type resources or ideas? I need high impact! #teamenglish

Been experimenting with ChatGPT today and the impact technology like that could have on workload is MONUMENTAL. Today I had it write a letter to students launching a new reading enrichment club and I had it write (and grade) a model response for my Year 10s. Phenomenal.

@Xris32 Thank you. I'll start making our own (we teach in clusters too) but was conscious of re-inventing the wheel.

@Xris32 Found this really useful and interesting. Will be sharing this with the department as it builds on things we have been discussing lately. Could I ask if you have the slides with each poem/specific device for all poems? I think they're fabulous!!

@Xris32 Sorted! Thank you!

@Xris32 Sorry, when you say log on to AQA, where specifically are you meaning? I can only find links to log on to Centre Services which just takes me to my examiner marking information.

Wanting to purchase a version of AIC to show students. Any recommendations? Not their GCSE text but would like it to remain true to text as much as possible. BBC adaptation is an option but conscious of their use of flashbacks which go off script. #teamenglish @Team_English1

@Xris32 Is this the report for the most recent series? If so, where can I find it?

@JcstevJohn Could you get in touch with the pension people, maybe? I've seen from other tweets that they're helpful. I think it's The People's Pension.

#aqa why can't I get a straight answer to why I haven't had my pension welcome letter - over a month after first deduction from pay?

A clip from Don’t Look Up, and then a real TV interview that just happened

@Tillybeanlopez @AQAEnglish @toosweettwoo So I've just received another payment but it still seems my Q2 and Q3s are way lower than my Q5s. Really strange. I'm hoping that will be mopped up in one more payment otherwise I had 50 seeds on those questions. Hope you've had some success!

@AQAEnglish @MissJoyceNE @toosweettwoo Hi, I can’t dm you 🤷‍♀️

Marking for AQA, met the 75% quota, no payment yet. Has anyone been paid by AQA yet? @AQAEnglish #exammarking

@Tillybeanlopez @AQAEnglish @toosweettwoo I DM'd them and got a generic email saying that someone will be in touch ASAP and they're working on it 🙄 still no new payslip for the missing scripts I absolutely marked
