Scaffolded notetaking resources

(0)
WIKI - What I know Initially - encourages students to scaffold their prior learning before adding new knowledge either during or at the end of a lesson. Has been used successfully with Y7-Y13. WIKI - Teach - What I Know I teach - encourages students to scaffold information before they use it to teach another student or student - also includes space for peer assessment. Used very successfully with Y7-13 and staff!. Adapted Cornell note sheet. Uses the Cornell design but has been adapted to encourage deeper level of thinking - in particular the left hand column scaffolds metacognition. Again used with Y7-13.

STAR chart - KS4 Biology Section 1 - Cells & organisation

(0)
These are A3 posters for classroom display - this one contains all the key words for AQA KS4 Biology (2016 onwards) section 1 (Cells and organisation). It consists of 13 pages with around 30 words per page. They are deliberately not in alphabetical order to assist with retention strategies. These contain more words than the glossaries alone.
SOLO HOT maps - for Biology

SOLO HOT maps - for Biology

(0)
Variety of SOLO style flow charts (sequencing, Compare and Contrast, Describe). Mainly based on Biology concepts but could easily be adapted for any other subject. Perfect for scaffolding students' learning and reaching those ever more challenging higher order thinking skills. Many of the resources are best printed back to back (and often A3). These have been used very successfully with Y7-13 and also staff training. Even if you are not familiar with SOLO taxonomy they are still very useful tools to encourage higher order thinking and consequently the holy grail of challenge!

This is the GSCE chemistry glossary resource translated into Persian. (Primarily matched to the AQA course). It is best used in conjunction with the standard English version. All words and phrases are numbered and match across both languages. There are suggested methods to revise the words. The glossaries are also matched with quiz quiz trade cards and SOLO hexagons for possible classroom activities. Physics and Biology are also available as are other translated languages. As I don’t speak this language please excuse any mistakes in translation!

These are the complete set of GSCE glossaries including Biology, Chemistry and Physics. These are translated into Arabic, Persian and Portuguese. They match the English versions and have the same numbers. As I don’t speak these languages there may be mistakes in the translations. However, I hope that you still find these useful for your EAL students.
BAA 2 - the return!

BAA 2 - the return!

(0)
This is the improved version of the BAA sheets (Book analysis and assessment). These are best printed 4 per page so each resource is then a half page of A4. These can easily be adapted to allow the students themselves to self assess their own work. Generally these are done once per half term - any more than that would be marking madness!\nAs usual any feedback would be welcome along with what use you have been able to make of them.

This is an alternative to an enable table. These are resources that I use within my classroom. My First aid cupboard is where I store resources such as text books etc. The first aid badges (which I laminate and have in lanyards) are used with students who complete their work and then support others in the class. The certificates are used to encourage the First aiders to reflect on their learning (and recognise their great efforts).As usual feedback is welcome.

The exit passes are best printed 4 per A4 sheet. There are multiple copies as each has a separate interesting science fact on it.The table toppers are best done on A4 and laminated. These can be left on tables for the duration of the lesson and any questions the students have can be written on them.Both these resources are in response to the requirement to encourage students to have a curiosity about science.As usual please provide feedback.

Have put this visual together as part of the Learn to Learn scheme that I am developing at our school. It shows how the 4 main pillars (Independence / Collaboration / Creativity / Communication) support the learning of all subjects and how it is underpinned by a Growth mindset.\nThere are also some levelled criteria available that I have written for each of the 4 pillars.\nPlease let me know how useful you find this.

Book analysis and assessment sheets. These are used for 'deep marking' of exercise books / files once every half term or so.\nThey work best when printed 4 per A4 page.\nThe red version is to highlight to the student that there are more issues than praise.\nI am currently improving these so will upload the improved versions once completed.\nPlease let me know how useful you find these.

These are a set of posters I designed for displaying around our faculty. The idea is to catch the students' attention. Work best if regularly swapped around.\nLet me know how useful you find these.

Have produced these for use within our Faculty. Best printed 4 per page of A4.\nUseful for student self assessment and also provide quick feedback for the teacher.\nGreat for evidence for work scrutinies / lesson observations.\nSome of these are science specific but most are easily adaptable for any subject.\nI have also produced an exit pass based on SOLO taxonomy in addition to a behaviour version.\nMore to follow if these are to anyone's taste - feedback is welcome - bit like the exit passes really!!
