Y13 chemistry support please! My students have finished the course and doing really well. Churned their way through zillions of past paper questions. Does anyone have a ready made resource suitable for pushing the top end of AQA chemistry?

@AhmedKhattabUK @MissLowtherSci Combined F trilogy went up by 28/27 marks from last year

What are the grade boundaries saying for aqa science? Are they a lot higher?

@AhmedKhattabUK Central national data base which you list the stuff on an application form then a tailored letter to each job application. Or just the same application form everywhere.
English
The way teacher's have to apply for jobs is so dumb. Puts so much stress on the system.
Do I have a better idea? No.

@adamboxer1 Doesn’t the recent ofsted science report elude to the fact it’s too big to fit properly in two years. Seems to report positively of schools starting GCSE in yr9 .Which is rather at odds with what they have said previously on the subject.
English
To be clear - I am not asking for curriculum reform or assessment reform. I am asking for the evidence re feasibility of implementation in 2 years.
My suspicion is that it isn't feasible. And that a *reduction* is needed. I have argued for this in the past based on experience.
English
Imagine writing a national curriculum or scheme of work that will affect millions of children
Then predict that it will take x time to teach
It's then taught for 10 years
And imagine never evaluating your prediction
Thats the scam the DfE, ofqual and exam boards are playing
Adam Boxer@adamboxer1
@Science_AQA Great idea! I have a question: have you evaluated your combined science course at all in the 10 odd years since it was published? I'm especially interested in the time scales amd whether you have survey data about feasibility of implementing in 2 years.

Does anyone know what the airplay code is when you mirror your phone to the tv?
I have a small black Apple TV box. I used to mirror my phone just fine. Now it is asking for a code and I have no clue.
Any idea how I can mirror my phone on the tv? My Body Pump depends on it!!
English
@Miss_Snuffy Normally when you mirror a code will appear either on the phone to type into the TV or the other way around.

@AhmedKhattabUK Maybe they don’t think they can improve as they don’t know how or what to improve. It’s a line managers/SLTs job to help them and show them how too. Imagine this attitude in elite sports. I could never imagine Klopp or Gaurdiola just firing people
English
This toxic attitude in schools is a reason schools struggle to recruit and retain teachers.
Don't fire them, firstly show them what's possible, coach them, guide them.
Often a teacher doesn't think they can improve coz the behavioural conditions are so bad, 'Fire those slt?'
English
“Ask teachers if they think they can improve … If they say no, fire them.”
Glad you're not my line manager.

If your response to this is to say ‘I don’t use MWBs and I’m great’ think what might happen if you did. Am reminded of @dylanwiliam’s line: “Ask teachers if they think they can improve … If they say no, fire them.”

Should this 'before and after' Structure and Bonding summary be useful, here's a link to a PDF version so you can print the blank version for students and have the completed version for yourself. Kindly put suggestions for improvements are always welcome. dropbox.com/s/tti0cjp92st6…

@louisecass Yep, just created the rule and dragged across. Showed me some very interesting patterns
English
Does anybody have an ‘idiots’ guide on how to access individual pupils papers on AQA so I can see strengths and weakness?
English
@AhmedKhattabUK Ours have MWBs built into their planners. They are decent quality also
English
Our kids have them and get them out at the beginning of every lesson. They're not left around classrooms with pen lids on floors. They're in kids bags ready to use.
It's the only way imo having expeir3icned every variation of use
English
Mini white boards are so effective that it has to be part of the kid's school equipment. Surely £1k on 1500 mini white boards is worth it.
I've seen pens priced at 500 for 100 pounds.
So you're looking at 5k for 1500 boards and 1000s of pens.

Mini whiteboards question. How do you give them a thorough clean, and how often?
