Ah yes, I forget hashtags exist sometimes. Thank you!

Presumably there is a cost involved in continuously re advertising, but surely there is some way to match teachers needing a job with a school. It seems like it’s increasingly difficult to get a job in a council you don’t already work in

Hi, I know this is an older article (I’m trying not to use social media much) but I couldn’t comment on the article itself. How much of this do you feel is down to the way we advertise posts? I know physics teachers who are unemployed in remote areas who would apply for jobs if they were advertised

Presumably a money maker for the powers that be, but it’s clearly horrible for attention spans as well as user experience

I really enjoyed this one 😊

Hi Drew, welcome! It’s the closest thing I can find to the old version of the bird app but I’ve found engagement to be tricky at times due to the smaller number of people on here

And you’ve now hit the crux of the issue.
Essentially a government elected on increasing teacher numbers and local authorities/schools who are so cash strapped that they can’t afford to hire them.
I’m not sure if the targets are to maintain numbers of increase them, but I would guess the latter

I do often find the dichotomy between science teacher recruitment in Scotland vs the rest of the UK. I would imagine a large number of the numbers above will move south of the border as there are limited numbers of permanent posts here, despite the recruitment targets

This is obviously based from a Scottish perspective, but it’s particularly relevant for teachers/assessors/markers for any course which has a coursework element. Generating results from an experiment that never happened is rather scary

I tried to get it to produce a full higher and advanced higher physics assignment by feeding it the course specification. By my marking, it got over 50% from a basic prompt and close to 100% with some fine tuning. Caveat: I’m not an official marker for such assignments

As others have mentioned, hanging systems are great. I spoke nicely to our technical department and had a brilliant solution within a week

Even reading about this makes me start to stress 😅

I’ve never seen one of these before but I’m definitely going to try build one
