Anyone use the following: Steplab/ Progress Teaching/ SISRA Observe? Does anyone have experience or opinions to share? I want something user friendly for my school that supports staff but tracks personal progress and allows direct feedback for whole school T&L #teachingandlearning #QofE #steplab

What are your suggestions and recommendations for reading materials/ resources/ support for (a) closing the gaps and improving boys’ performance in English and (b) stretching learners for top bands?

Right! We are moving from AQA English to EDUQAS for GCSE. Who is good to follow, and does anyone have any tips on where to get support? #TeamEnglish #Eduqas #EnglishTeachers
