Has anyone started (finished!?) amending all of the AQA past papers to match new format of questions? Typical they have not all been updated for us...! Any help/links greatly appreciated! #TeamEnglish @Team_English1 @LitdriveUK @Mathew_Lynch44 @RealGingerella @LauraLolder

Some words from me on @LitdriveUK's blog - my perspective on the discussions from the GCSE Reform meeting organised by @EnglishAssoc and @The_Globe #TeamEnglish @Team_English1

🖊️ Member blog 🖊️ This blog post from Litdrive member and volunteer @johncmurphy7 shares his thoughts on the summit for English GSCEs reform which he attended as one of Litdrive's representatives. Read it here: buff.ly/40fSWFg #LitdriveCPD #TeamEnglish @Team_English1

@LanguageDebates @Team_English1 @EngLangBlog AQA :) Pupils can do the exam without it, but we're finding it limits options and are looking to reintroduce it properly.

@owl33JM @Team_English1 @EngLangBlog What's the board? They don't all require the reading/writing/literacy acquisition part...

Any recommendations for reading or resources/theories/research for A-level children's literacy/reading/writing? Been a while since I taught this part! #TeamEnglish @Team_English1 @EngLangBlog @LanguageDebates #KS5 #linguistics #CLA

@m_chiles Interested in finding out more if you could DM :)

***🚀OPPORTUNITY🚀*** I’m looking to work with 20 schools (10 primary and 10 secondary) on an assessment and feedback project for next academic year 😊 If you’re interested in being involved drop a message below or DM me.

@LauraLolder Always picking your brain with how and why you do things with your department @johncmurphy7....!

I have a really exciting upcoming project. I would LOVE you to tag HODs who you feel are doing a great job of running their department and contributing to the success of your school. I'm looking especially for a range of subjects. Please RT for wide reach! Thanks

@RobDrummond @threadreaderapp unroll please

Especially if you’re friends with Sheila 😂😂 16/16

I thought I’d check out some of the 350+ comments kindly left by @thetimes readers on this article featuring my thoughts on ‘like’ and standard English. They didn’t disappoint, and yet somehow at the same time they disappointed immensely 🧵 1/16 thetimes.com/article/04f637…

Hello @JCQcic @AQA @AQAEnglish is there guidance on how long centres must keep a record/copy of the recordings of the spoken language endorsement for GCSE English Language? Can they be deleted after results day each year or do they need to be kept for longer?

@PilotTVPod @jamescdyer @HelenLOHara @TheWheelOfTime @primevideouk Is it too late to enter?!

AD | EVENT ALERT! 🚨 #TheWheelOfTime Season 2 is coming, and we're hosting an exclusive screening of the first two eps – plus a live chat about the show between @jamescdyer & @HelenLOHara – with @PrimeVideoUKon 30 Aug in London! Register for tickets: ngx.me/5sw3pm0

@CatrinEira1990 @AshleighSteane @StuartPryke @TeamEnglishNC @EngMediaCentre @AQAEnglish @LitdriveUK I'd maybe contact @PearsonTeachEng too. But not sure if they could do anything to help investigate the 0 mark on the pages of writing - sounds like an admin error or something tbh, but hard to know with these!! Hope everything goes well and all sorted quickly 🤞

@AshleighSteane @StuartPryke @TeamEnglishNC @EngMediaCentre @AQAEnglish @LitdriveUK Work in a girls grammar - the marking is shocking, 70 odd appeals. Whole sections of papers given 0 when pupils had written pages, no annotations on papers to explain reasons. 3rd time since 2018 that we’ve had shocking results that when we’ve called for papers has not been fair

Desperate plea - we are abandoning Edexcel Language for AQA following today's results. Does anyone have any Language Paper 2 schemes they are willing to share? @StuartPryke @TeamEnglishNC @EngMediaCentre @AQAEnglish #TeamEnglish #AQAEnglish

@CatrinEira1990 @AshleighSteane @StuartPryke @TeamEnglishNC @EngMediaCentre @AQAEnglish @LitdriveUK I examine for both boards. Plenty of safeguards for standards and checking of marking in comparison to AQA from my experience. Was paid more than AQA particularly when taking into account time. Papers aren't meant to be annotated. Really sad your school had bad experience :(

@AshleighSteane @StuartPryke @TeamEnglishNC @EngMediaCentre @AQAEnglish @LitdriveUK They pay so much less for markers even in comparison to AQA that I’m sure they’ve employed people who have no experience and are borderline incompetent with no safeguards

Saturday of the half term break already! 😮 Enjoyed it but still glad to be getting back to teaching

@LitdriveUK @johncmurphy7 This will save so much time thank you🙌 looking forward to your Litdrive cpd event in Southampton too when tickets go live- hoping to attend 🤞
