Scrapping Btecs would disadvantage many young people and be disastrous for employers and social mobility too, argues the @SFCA_info's James Kewin https://t.co/7hPVQPzV6d

A big virtual round of applause for Paul Joyce of @Ofstednews, who's just addressed our Clerks Conference with an update on inspection arrangements for this half term - monitoring visits only, mostly remote.

We're hearing now from @AnnaCTTG and @fiona_chalk of @E_T_Foundation about the clerk as influencer - how to use your unique role to the best effect. Thought-provoking and really practical.

Removing funding for the majority of applied general qualifications to aid the introduction of a binary model of A levels or T levels would be disastrous for employers, young people and social mobility, says @SFCA_info's James Kewin https://t.co/c2FVf1Yl6D

Many of us are thinking about fostering academic resilience in young people at the moment, as we try to keep students engaged in their studies online, but this piece from @Eton_CIRL will also have huge relevance in 'normal times': https://t.co/iVHJXWukOm

And a good strategy for starters is to ensure your auto-correct is set to English UK, not English US. "Practice" is the noun, "practise" is the verb!

And it's always time for a re-read of @mfordhamhistory's thoughts on how to better set students up to practice writing academically at A level. It's about history, but will be of help to teachers and leaders across humanities and social sciences. https://t.co/JZjShflTTb

Chief exec Bill Watkin welcomes @educationgovuk and @ofqual's consultation on summer 2021 exams and says: "Teachers know their students best and it is right that their professional expertise will be at the heart of the awarding process this summer." More: https://t.co/1nZX47YCeB

This is such an important issue. AGQs are a vital part of so many schools and colleges post-16 offer and removing them will not solve any of the (perceived?) problems with the post-16 landscape https://t.co/iMxnaTWbwW
