@RonRitchhart It’s intended to assess analysis and writing skills. Students who think memorising past papers or prepared responses limit themselves to a C range.

@alisa_stephens Hey Alissa. My school uses Compass. I’m pretty proficient. DM me your questions.

Are you a Compass school? I'd love to chat... Have a couple of questions (specifically about Teaching and Learning dashboards)

I haven’t been on this platform for months and I haven’t received a specific message to me in all that time. My feed is flooded with ads and promos for nothing I’m interested in. Time to say goodbye Twitter. Or X or whatever you are now. Ruined.

It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 14 years, since 30 May 2009 (via @twi_age).

@carlaleeB And it’s only week 7?

Exhausted as per week 8 but 💜the power of our Learning Alliance. All exec from both HSs had a session with Alan Cartwright last night , the Learning Alliance had it today & all PS exec this evening. The power of a Community of Schools -it’s wonderful to reboot the Alliance 💥

@Madiganda Aw Paula. That totally sucks. I”m sorry for Sophie. Hope she isn’t too sick with Covid. Confident something will come up in 2023 that will be just right for her.

Day 15 of flu& pneumonia. No energy, no voice, racking cough, fever & wheezing. More time off ordered - more meds. Sigh. Wear your masked peeps. Covid ain’t the only serious bug.

I came down with influenza a week ago & now pneumonia. Been on antibiotics for 3 days with no improvement. Doc says go to ED. Really don’t want to but breathing is wheezy and cough is bad. Ugh - I hate being sick and scared.

@DrSRiddle @chalkhands I wholeheartedly agree. Drives me bonkers.

Excited to be presenting! Register online for heaps of awesome goodness and celebration of what we love as English teachers. #NSWETA #etapd

@Emma_On_Tap @steven_kolber @Doctor_Harves @keithheggart @mattoman71 @DrHeery @drewmayhills @kmcg2375 @parryville @cpaterso @hollis_k_ @SallyLars_27 I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Dr Jane Montgomery Griffiths discussing the power of bad and negative reception of Shakespeare. #bellconf22

Final session of an extraordinary weekend of learning & inspiration: Approaching Shakespeare with Confidence by Dr Jane Montgomery/Griffiths. #bellconf22

Expanding our vocabularies allows us to think about more things & have more ways to express what we are thinking about. #bellconf22

Shakespeare’s drama embodies this.

Too much familiarity impedes curiosity.

Other roadblocks: his language is too complicated, his ideas about gender are old-fashioned & rigid. #bellconf22

Roadblocks to approaching female characters in Shakespeare’s play. #bellconf22

Up next. Dr Kate Flaherty: The Familiar Strange: teaching Shakespeare’s Female Characters Today #bellconf22
