Help students keep their workbooks to a high quality with this book quality checklist that students can stick in the inside cover, back cover or first page of their work books or it can be used as a classroom display. Please amend as necessary
Creating a safe learning environment is important during pracitical activities. This Practical Routine is great for practical based subjects such as science, food tech, design techology and art. These rules can be delivered during a practical lesson or it can be used as displays in your classroom
These target stickers enables teachers and students to track their progress in science or other subjects on a weekly or biweekly bias. These stickers should be stuck in students’ books so they can take responsibility of their own learning and work progress. Teachers can easily see which students are not meeting targets and therefore requires intervention strategies
