The Relentless School Nurse: Are You Running Out of Steam?

It is barely one month into school and I have already run out of steam. Does anyone else feel this way? I can’t blame it on my age, that would be too easy.

The frenetic energy of school has ratcheted up to a level that is even more chaotic than last year. .

I pressed the button: PE exam marking now leads the world

The Everlearner

Last week, my team and I struck a button ?. That button was a technical one but it meant that machine learning (ML) as part of ExamSimulator became the primary vehicle for identifying correct responses in students’ PE exam answers. Until this point, as students wrote prose-based responses to PE exam questions (including extended writing essays), manually written mark schemes were the primary vehicle of comparison and machine learning was used as a back-up.
