Mark Enser π Iβm amused at the idea of exams assessing 2-3 years of learning for ALL the subjects studied across the country can be scheduled into a single week without a truly manic crunch period of super high stress. Agree with Clive Hill about grades 1-3 being seen as having value.
Very proud to have been part of Royal Society of Chemistry Curriculum and Assessment Working Group, we began looking at what a new, ideal curriculum could look like after the last curriculum change so we weren't reactionary... A good basis for responding to calls for input from govt.
Mark Enser π The problem with teachers is they don't give the answers you want. It's best not to ask them.
Thoughtful post from Adam Robbins (on π§΅) on the promising education exodus to Blue Sky. I'm giving it a go. Hope to see you there. bsky.app/profile/mrarobβ¦
We are also welcoming on board a new Geographical Association Vice President -- Catherine Owen (Catherine Owen) who will be President in 2025-26. Catherine is also a leading secondary Geography teacher and great author (I know as I am reading the ms of her latest edited book!) Good luck to Catherine!
