  <WSC#DGZ041:0595:ST>
      yeah well <.>i</.> i'm not brilliantly aware of it either but i
      think it's <.>gon</.> it's gonna be all the same

  <WSC#DGZ041:0600:ST>
      english maths science

  <WSC#DGZ041:0605:ST>
      but the others are <.>you</.> you're aware of it <unclear>word</unclear>
      achievement based things one to four scale the kids get graded
      on <,,>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0610:MG>
      what level

  <WSC#DGZ041:0615:ST>
      all levels yeah

  <WSC#DGZ041:0620:ST>
      <?>oh the sixth</?> seventh form <{><[>yeah</[> but i've just

  <WSC#DGZ041:0630:ST>
      that came i can't really understand this thing <?>for about</?>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0635:ST>
      it's about length of units but i'll pass it round for everyone
      to have a look at and er <,,>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0640:ST>
      yeah this <&>8:00</&> is it here achievement based assessment
      criteria

  <WSC#DGZ041:0645:ST>
      it says <reads>achievement based <.>criter</.> assessment
      criteria has now been developed in drama maths and music and
      will be available to schools from the beginning of term two

  <WSC#DGZ041:0650:ST>
      full list of sixth form certificate subjects for which sets of
      criteria may be obtained is as follows</reads>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0655:ST>
      so ALL of them have got the same criteria

  <WSC#DGZ041:0660:ST>
      it's the same as english i think and they <.>k</.> <.>they</.>
      kids can get graded on one to four don't they

  <WSC#DGZ041:0665:ST>
      they have to fit into a one to four <.>or</.>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0670:ST>
      i think it's a one to four scale but i've sent away for it
      <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0675:LC>
      <[>oh okay</[></{>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0680:HN>
      YES and they all end up with <.>s</.>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0685:ST>
      i'm not sure <{1><[1>how it works</[1> for each <unclear>word</unclear>
      <?>but</?> it's all coming into <{2><[2><?>line there</?> anyway</[2>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0690:HN>
      <[1>threes</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0695:HN>
      <[2>yeah it's too small a grant</[2></{2>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0700:ST>
      um <,,>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0705:ST>
      where are we

  <WSC#DGZ041:0710:ST>
      the draft <.>curriculum</.>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0715:LC>
      <whispers><unclear>word</unclear></whispers>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0720:ST>
      i <.>won't</.> the course was reasonably good

  <WSC#DGZ041:0725:ST>
      as <.>a</.> <.>as</.> as a follow up to it there's one

  <WSC#DGZ041:0730:DV>
      <quietly>you might be able to see it <unclear>word</unclear></quietly>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0735:ST>
      <?>coming up soon at <&>name of school</&></?> which um margaret
      and i are going to go to

  <WSC#DGZ041:0740:ST>
      it's a DAY course and then there's a three hour session follow
      ups afterwards so it's basically on the <&>9:00</&> draft
      curriculum but BASically the <.>draft</.> i mean the whole draft
      curriculum

  <WSC#DGZ041:0745:ST>
      it's not the content that's changed at all in fact the content's
      basically the same

  <WSC#DGZ041:0750:ST>
      basically <.>it's</.> it's a methoDOLogy of how to teach it and
      er rather than learning a whole lot of facts and figures that
      it's it's how <.>you</.> kids learn mathematics and it's geared
      towards a lot of group work um <O>tut</O> um i guess problem
      solving investigations and the rest of it er

  <WSC#DGZ041:0755:ST>
      <.>the</.> <.>there's</.> and it's not going to be easy er <.>t</.>
      <{><[>obviously</[>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0760:ST>
      no it's not going to be easy to implement <.>and</.> and
      possibly people won't change <?>so</?> as long as people enter
      into the spirit of it i think um

  <WSC#DGZ041:0765:ST>
      the maths course in the holidays was quite good although a lot
      of it was repetition <?>of</?> stuff i'd seen before and i guess
      a lot of those people er those sort of those course junkies that
      go around all the courses and <.>they</.> they know it all as
      well so <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0770:RR>
      <[>to implement? <quietly>you mean</quietly></[></{>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0775:LC>
      yeah <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0780:ST>
      <?>but</?> otherwise it was quite good but this inset one that's
      coming up in i think next month some time and it's at <?><&>name
      of school</&></?> <&>10:00</&> and it's being run by um rochelle
      <.>r</.> rochelle <.>r</.> <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0785:HN>

      now <.>i</.> i'm very keen to have a third and fourth form
      problem solving evening and i've pencilled down next thursday
      night but i think that's far too <{1><[1>soon and</[1> margaret
      and i talked before and i think what we'll do is AFTER the
      school exams we'll have a thursday <{2><[2>night <?>one</?></[2>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0800:MG>
      <[1>too soon</[1></{1>

      straight after school exams the third forms go to camp <.>in</.>
      <{1><[1>in that</[1> last <unclear>word</unclear> <{2><[2>i've
      just written it in

  <WSC#DGZ041:0810:LC>

      have it before then <{><[><?>what's</?> <unclear>word</unclear></[>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0835:HN>
      <[>the end of july</[></{> wouldn't you middle of july end of

  <WSC#DGZ041:0860:ST>
      <?>i think</?> mhm?

  <WSC#DGZ041:0865:LC>
      when are you gonna do it

  <WSC#DGZ041:0870:ST>
      do we need to?

  <WSC#DGZ041:0875:LC>
      WHEN are you going to do it <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0880:ST>
      oh after well i'd say <.>pr</.> possibly after midterm <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0885:RR>
      but the one we're gonna do the <.>next</.> oh is this different
      from the evening one <&>11:00</&>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0890:ST>
      yeah the evening one will be just one team from each class

  <WSC#DGZ041:0895:RR>
      or two if you can get two?

  <WSC#DGZ041:0900:ST>
      yeah two if you have two but <.>i</.> i think we might be
      struggling to get two

  <WSC#DGZ041:0905:LC>
      <{><[>your class had two eh?</[>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0910:ST>
      <[>to <.>get</.> to get kids</[></{> <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0915:HN>
      my class would be REALLY <{><[>struggling to get <.>two</.> to
      get ONE</[>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0920:RR>
      <[>yeah no a couple of mine would get two</[></{>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0925:ST>
      but i think we <.>just</.> insist that they have one we're just
      <.>i</.> <.>we're</.> <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0930:RR>
      MINIMUM of one <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0935:ST>
      yeah we have to twist a few arms even you know i'm <.>like</.> i
      mean i asked today how many would like to go in in the evening
      one and you know two or three of them put their hands up but <.>i</.>
      i <.>think</.> i THINK um if <.>y</.> if the right <.>approach</.>
      if you went up to someone like tia and said you know you were
      really good at this <?>tia</?> and we'd like to see a GIRL in
      this you know and whatever as well <{><[><?>and teach them</?></[>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0940:RR>
      <[>when i told</[></{> mine that <.>it</.> that it was coming up
      they were keen

  <WSC#DGZ041:0945:ST>
      <O>clears throat</O> were they

  <WSC#DGZ041:0950:RR>
      yeah but that was STRAIGHT after they'd just done <.>the</.>
      done the one where <.>they</.> cos they didn't like the idea of
      being in um <{><[>where</[> <.>we</.> <.>m</.> where we put them
      in you know where a lot of them we split up and spread and they
      were quite keen to have a go in there with their mates or with
      the people who they thought <.>w</.> they <.>were</.> were able

  <WSC#DGZ041:0955:ST>
      <[>mixed</[></{>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0960:HN>
      mm

  <WSC#DGZ041:0965:ST>
      mm i think they er you know <.>i</.> <.>i</.> i got a
      <&>12:00</&> feeling that they all enjoyed <.>it</.> the kids
      had enjoyed it

  <WSC#DGZ041:0970:ST>
      i think if we run along the lines of having <.>a</.> another
      whole day and we <.>had</.> put all the third and fourth formers
      through and then we have a night one where we get our best ones
      out and then we pick our teams for <.>the</.> for the um
      schools' competition

  <WSC#DGZ041:0975:ST>
      i think we'll get a fairly <.>good</.> fairly good fourth form
      team

  <WSC#DGZ041:0980:ST>
      mark sanderson's very good <?>and you know not just at</?>
      problem solving

  <WSC#DGZ041:0985:ST>
      i think the THIRD form we should be quite <{><[>good shouldn't
      we</[>

  <WSC#DGZ041:0990:RR>
      <[>quite strong</[></{> yeah

  <WSC#DGZ041:0995:ST>
      with tom and all those kids <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ041:1000:RR>
      yeah and hugh bennett <.>and</.> yeah <.>we</.> we'd get a good
      team

  <WSC#DGZ041:1005:ST>
      mm cos we should try and compete and try and er do well in that
      and er <{><[><unclear>word</unclear></[>

  <WSC#DGZ041:1010:RR>
      <[>well it'd be the biggest</[></{> build up that we've seen

  <WSC#DGZ041:1015:RR>
      i mean i didn't see any of this last year

  <WSC#DGZ041:1020:ST>
      no no

  <WSC#DGZ041:1025:LC>
      <{><[>no the kids are used to <.>it</.> experience practise it
      <.>and</.> <.>and</.></[>

  <WSC#DGZ041:1030:RR>
      <[>the kids have had lots of experience at it especially <?>if
      you do</?></[></{> two more

  <WSC#DGZ041:1035:LC>
      just in the tactics eh

  <WSC#DGZ041:1040:RR>
      mm

  <WSC#DGZ041:1045:ST>
      <?>so i thought we'd get <.>it</.> throw it open</?> and get
      parents to see if they want to come along

  <WSC#DGZ041:1050:ST>
      it'll only be an hour and a quarter hour and a half length

  <WSC#DGZ041:1055:ST>
      we could run the third and fourth form one exactly the same time
      probably <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ041:1060:MG>
      mm <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ041:1065:ST>
      couldn't we <?>margaret</?> <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ041:1070:MG>
      mm i can't see why not

  <WSC#DGZ041:1075:ST>
      yeah and just <.>have</.> <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ041:1080:MG>
      and they're all in together it's much better

  <WSC#DGZ041:1085:MG>
      the thing is we're <&>13:00</&> gonna need help <?>with it</?>
      that's the thing

  <WSC#DGZ041:1090:ST>
      yeah but i thought <.>w</.> i thought monique's kids might be
      quite good <{><[>but <unclear>word</unclear></[>

  <WSC#DGZ041:1095:MG>
      <[>yeah well i mean <?><.>who</.></[></{> whoever</?> <.>is</.>
      with helpers there too <.>i</.> <.>i</.> <.>it</.> the parents
      are able to WATCH them move around without <.>s</.> saying and
      they'll enjoy that

  <WSC#DGZ041:1100:ST>
      yeah <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ041:1105:MG>
      just <?>like</?> at a <.>proper</.> <{><[>proper <?>night</?></[>

  <WSC#DGZ041:1110:ST>
      <[>yeah we can <?>run</?></[></{> one like that and have some of
      them on the <{><[>mike and sort of giving questions</[> for the
      <unclear>word</unclear>

  <WSC#DGZ041:1115:ST>
      we could actually look at getting some sponsorship i suppose too
      couldn't we <latch>

  <WSC#DGZ041:1120:MG>
      <[>mm yeah right</[></{>

  <WSC#DGZ041:1125:MG>
      why not

  <WSC#DGZ041:1130:MG>
      what about <.>pr</.> probably enjoy that

  <WSC#DGZ041:1135:MG>
      get someone from down here

  <WSC#DGZ041:1140:ST>
      from down there to sponsor it

  <WSC#DGZ041:1145:MG>
      yeah

  <WSC#DGZ041:1150:ST>

      whole numbers

  <WSC#DGZ041:1265:DV>
      now that would include er i <.>would</.> i would assume that
      would include decimal places significant figures standard form

  <WSC#DGZ041:1270:MG>
      they would have all been in the calculators assignment <{><[><unclear>word</unclear>
      <?>anyway</?></[>

      <[>yeah decimals fractions</[></{> and ratio <,>
