This is for students studying childcare level 3. I chose this unit for year 1 of the programme but it can be used for year 2. I have written these briefs and they have been internally verified before using. These assignments cover the whole unit. They may stipulate ‘using the proforma’ if this is the case please email me and i can forward any extra paper work too. They are also useful for planning your lessons around. This is new too me and im not sure if they are worth selling so at the moment i am only putting one unit on here. I have all unit briefs for Level 2 and level 3 year 1 & 2. if required (60 briefs in total, generally 3 per unit). Please feel free to leave feedback if you feel people would benefit of the rest that i have which are of the same structure and i will upload them.

How to Prepare For Your Teacher Interview If you’re in Teacher’s College, just graduated or already teaching, it’s a great idea to get a trusted mentor and a group of 3-5 fellow classmates. Next, brainstorm the best teaching interview questions you can think of. Then, brainstorm again for the single best answer to the interview questions.

A fully-adaptable PowerPoint which offers an introduction to the study of dramatic comedy as a genre (most likely useful with the study of Shakespeare). The lesson offers visual and practical tasks for pupils to work through in order to explore and begin to understand the concept of comedy as a genre. The activities should take one lesson, but may take two. There is also an opportunity for pupils to apply their learning to an extract from Shakespeare’s ‘Much ado About Nothing’ at the end. This PowerPoint will be most useful with higher-level GCSE students aiming for grades 7,8 and 9 in their study of Shakespeare’s ‘Much Ado about Nothing’, enabling them to explore method and genre as they read, which will help in their reaching higher levels in the examination. Could be adapted for aspiring grade 6 students. The PowerPoint might also be used as a starting point for A Level English Literature students although further reading and research will be necessary. It will certainly aid less able A Level students who benefit from visual and practical tasks, and discussion (I have used a version of this PowerPoint as a starting point with an AS group for coursework under an old spec).

The ‘i-Mark Book’ is designed to replace the paper mark books at the back of teacher’s planners. This Excel Spreadsheet allows you to input the names, details and information of your students alongside up to 6 assessments per Year. You can then use the built-in tools to compare target grades to results, explore the success of significant groups and examine flight paths to influence your future lesson planning. The information displayed allows you to quickly and effectively summarise student’s achievement and progression which in turn can be used to decide on current academic progress of individual students. You can see which students are under-performing and detail this against specific classes, teachers or learning topics. You can quickly access who has under-performed and who still owes you assesssments. This information can be an ideal discussion point for line management meetings and can be used as evidence of student tracking as well as being a solid record of student’s achievements. The i-Mark Book also helps to discuss achievement at parents evenings. The i-Mark Book is designed to track one cohort and their progression through either one academic year, the entire of KS4 or through Sixth Form, but not different classes from multiple Year Groups. You can track the performance of up to 10 classes (up to 250 students). You may decide to setup one copy of this tool for each class, or it may be preferable to setup one copy for an entire Year Group. Once purchased you can distribute to all department and all members of staff for the whole school to use. This sale comes with a unique version for KS4, Sixth Form and for a single year group (for use with Year 7 and 8).

A fun year 7 history lesson which can be used either on a transition day or in the first week at secondary school as an introduction to history. The lesson focuses on familiarising students with the key skills they will be using throughout history lessons at secondary school - source analysis, source comparison, chronology and literacy through history (spag and essay skills). It includes engaging teamwork tasks, fact-finding activities and lots of introduction to new key terms. I’m going to be adding lots more free History lessons over the coming months. Follow me to see when they’re uploaded! :)

This resource includes 7 game boards and an Interactive Smart board version. The alien words (pseudonyms) cover all the split digraphs and there is one board that covers just the sounds. To further extend the game you could hold your own world cup with group rounds and then knockout rounds. You could use two boards or a die up to 3. I hope that your class enjoys playing these games. Many thanks for viewing.

STOP asking and Start Telling. If you want students to comply you have to stop giving choices and tell students exactly what you want them to do. Choices are something we all want and should be offered at times, but when there is a specific behavior you that you want your students to exhibit allowing choice only promotes confusion on the part of the students and frustration for the teacher. Compliance before choice is something that all students should understand. Students can’t say and do what they want when they want to do it. This 13 page guide provides instructions on how to do it with illustrations from the authors life and provides the language that will empower the teacher and create a positive school climate.
