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

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?

*Previous applications roles elsewhere (SLT + other leadership roles), what I've done doesn't have direct impact data on teachers + pupil progress beyond surveys/anecdotes. I think that it can't be so clear cut in context of everything and the purpose of the work I've done.
Looking for some advice! Really eager to help progress to my next steps to senior leadership. Middle leader. Do a lot of PD in own time - courses and a lot of reading. Have led a lot of CPD sessions and led on other T&L things at whole school level.*

Something to think about at another time!

So, any suggestions on what courses, CPD, opportunities, or other pursuits/activities that are worth doing and valuable? Beyond NPQ (not going to work for me right now sadly). @newtosltchat @SLTnetwork @Headteacherchat @SaysMiss @FunkyPedagogy @Strickomaster @SFL2326 @head_teach

More I can get to make up for not having direct SLT experience the better :))
Would anyone be willing to share their school's assessment/tracking and reporting systems? More detail the better! Have opportunity to change the whole school and department systems. Would love to see specific examples 🙏🙌 #TeamEnglish #SLTChat #edchat #ukedchat #TVTTagTeam
Replying to @TeacherEmpower
@SLTchat @Team_English1 #ukedchat Do we know for how long pupils in year 11/13 need to attend this year in light of exams not going ahead? July like everyone else? Before then? Thinking of....... 1. Opportunities that would open up for their next steps 2. Impact on "gained time"
