Calling all GCSE and A Level English teachers. We are currently conducting some market research for our prestigious York Notes series and are looking for Key Stage 3, GCSE and A Level English teachers to take part in this research.
We are looking for 15-20 English teachers who may be new to the profession, or with years of teaching experience. We have a task prepared which should take no more than 2 hours to complete and we can offer a small fee or vouchers as a thank you.
You don't need to have experience of using York Notes, but if you do have experience of using them, we would love to hear from you. You should have some experience of teaching set texts in the classroom and be at least somewhat familiar with classroom and revision resources for set texts. Please drop me a message in the comments below or DM us if you are interested in taking part. Thank you.

ALT Silver medal commemorating the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot. This side of the coin shows a snake among lilies and roses, symbolising Jesuit intrigue and deception. The inscription reads ‘DETECTVS. QVI. LATVIT. S.C.’ (He, who concealed himself, is detected. By order of the Senate.)
ALT The reverse side of the coin bears the tetragrammaton (the name of God in Hebrew) in a circle of thorns, with the inscription ‘NON DORMITASTI ANTISTES IACOBI’ (You (i.e. God), the keeper of James, have not slept), a paraphrase of Psalm 121.
