Training content from our 2019 GCSE Spring networks
During our networks we always focus on teaching and learning as well as assessment, providing lots of opportunity for teachers to network with others in their local area.
Here’s what some of our attendees had to say about our events:
'The leader of the session had excellent working knowledge and was able to provide reasoned responses to complex questions.'
- Caroline Parker, Hazelwick School
‘Discussing with others about the papers, hearing about what other schools are doing… 19th century ideas - very useful!’
– Helen Bell, George Stephenson High School.
