Teachers invited to give feedback on reformed GCSEs and A-levels
EB News: 14/05/2018 - 16:21
Ofqual is inviting teachers to workshops to offer their perspectives on the assessment of this summer’s reformed GCSEs, AS and A levels.
The workshops are Ofqual's first opportunity to gather evidence about things that have gone well and any areas of concern. Feedback will help assess the effectiveness of the reformed programme.
The workshops will be held in October, November and December in a central Coventry location and are free to attend. Your travel expenses will be reimbursed and lunch will be provided.
Ofqual is looking for participants that have taught the qualification, in its legacy and reformed version, to gain feedback on the changes and challenges of the new qualifications and how they have been addressed.
The government is inviting EdTech companies and AI labs to develop AI tutoring tools, in collaboration with teachers, to ensure they support classroom practice.
Job adverts for secondary school teaching roles have dropped to their lowest level in nine years, raising fresh concerns about teacher recruitment in England.
The government has announced the locations of 19 new Technical Excellence Colleges, backed by £175 million investment in skills training in priority areas.
