General Discussion / OS Award
« Last post by GB geographer on May 14, 2013, 09:16:13 AM »
Congratulations to David Rogers and Maria Larkin for being this year's recipients of the OS Award for excellence in teaching geography at secondary level from the RGS. They join quite a few other SLNers who've received it over the years. The Awards are handed out on 3rd June, and other winners this year include Michael Palin, Yann Arthus Bertrand and Keith Richards (not that one...)

To all teachers and students as we move into the summer exam season.

Hopefully the Nings are proving helpful, alongside SLN, personal networking and all the other support structures that may (or may not) be in place.

Thank you. It's really great to get so much guidance from people who know the syllabus. I'm very grateful to everyone who has messaged me here and emailed me.

I can bash the lesson out quite quickly but the resources can then soak up forever. Often I make it an ongoing progress so by the time I make the lesson it has been running though my head for a good few car journeys

A history teacher colleague of mine, Russel Tarr, is giving an interview to BBC Radio 5 Live about the Mr Men speech given by Gove last week and the continued fallout.

Some stuff on the news sites again today

It is on at 5.45pm this evening (Monday).

Stuart

Thanks so much for that. C grade seems incredibly low compared to OCR.

I need to Skype/email/google hangout you to discuss this stuff. I'll just wait until OCR B sample has been sent away and I've marked all of my 45 Y10's & IB papers. That'll be the end of this week then if you can.
