How in the world did it ever become normal to provide teachers with such a disgracefully short time to eat lunch?!

So if it wasn’t bad enough that AQA basically re-used a Q5 from a previous paper for LP2 today… the text they have chosen is also clearly sexist AND appears in an AQA revision guide. Pay for your grade then yeah?🤔🤪

After my original tweet on revision strategies, I've been chipping away at a one page overview for students. Here is the first page finished if useful. Thanks to anyone that replied and to @SPBeale for the folding frenzy idea and @jlhough91_lee for power planning! Link ⬇️
Presented today on work we've done on revision strategies. If you could pick one revision strategy that you think works well, what would it be? I'll start: Cornell notes. Brilliant for helping students with note taking, summarising, and generating questions for self quizzing.

Just to clear something up: yes, other countries have temperatures higher than what we are expecting and yes, “they seem to manage”. But they manage because they get high temps much more regularly than us. Let me give some examples: (1/n)

Completed speaking & listening with yr10 students & I've become increasingly concerned about their views on women. Any1 else had this? They are explaining their "inspirations in life" & these are men who are v.misogynistic & are women abusers... 😳 @Team_English1 #edutwitter

I am by no means an expert, but living alone in the cost of living crisis I’ve had to find some tips and tricks to help me save money. I thought I’d share some, in case they’re helpful to anyone as I’ve had a few DMs about this 🧵
