Like a few other #geographyteacher colleagues, I’m also stepping away from here in response to the appalling crap & misinformation that appears on my feed, & the lack of anything creative / noteworthy that doesn’t already appear on Instagram or LinkedIn. Oh for those SLN days…

Hello @CambridgeInt this is a short thread about how unhappy I am with some of the changes you have made to marking post -exam.
Really important in KS3 & KS5. But in your KS4 0460 syllabus, there is only a fleeing mention of it, and it's been like that for more than 10 years. You would have thought that it might have been given more prominence given the global situation. Just saying.....
Imagine your students, after two years of hard work & dedication had just sat their Geography exam, only for the teachers to ‘find out’ that the exam board changed the criteria for marking the essay questions, & that they hadn’t shared that information with centres. Imagine…..
… that changes the goalposts because some smart Alec examiner decides that on top of the 30+ case studies, and massively outdated content that the students must learn, it’s not quite enough to state that France is located in Europe or that Kenya is located in Africa! Jokers…!
This is the reality in the ivory towers of @CambridgeInt where Geography students and teachers (AKA customers 😂 😆 😝) have been victims of a complete breakdown in communication which frankly smacks of contempt, & of an organisation massively out of touch with its customers.

We use a lot of podcasts in Geography, particularly BBC The Inquiry but some of our EAL students can struggle to keep. This free podcast transcription site is a bit of a game changer! Downloads in either txt or PDF format. freepodcasttranscription.com… #geographyteacher
Good to see that @gatwUpdates & @richardallaway have diversified their range of apparel to include running gear for rapidly ageing humanities teachers on their lunchtime slog. Made this historian run like a champion! “Young man….” – at Toulouse, France
