This resource pack is comprised of:
1.) Observation & Learning Walk Performance Grid
2.) Marking and Feedback Performance Grid
For use alongside lesson observations, learning walks, and book monitoring, these succinct performance grids enable observers to gauge, categorise, and feedback on teaching and learning sessions using OFSTED guidance for effective teaching. The documents provide descriptors of ‘outstanding’, ‘good’, ‘requires improvement’ and ‘inadequate’ practice within appropriately considered teaching and learning focus areas, for example: Questioning, Positive Feedback, Use of Additional Adults, etc. Schools who still grade individual teachers have noted that these are helpful aids in arriving at an overall judgement.
This Adaptive Teaching CPD PowerPoint presentation and resource pack are designed to help you tailor learning effectively for every student in your classroom. Packed with evidence-informed teaching strategies, the package also includes a self-assessment audit to support reflection on your current practice and help identify areas for growth.
A range of visuals for CPD/PLD teaching and learning theories, strategies and ideas such as Rosenshine, retrieval practice, feedback, Bloom, modeling and others.
This Adaptive Teaching PowerPoint is designed for staff training or CPD sessions and focuses on developing a clear understanding of the difference between differentiation and adaptive teaching. Perfect for use in teacher professional development meetings, INSET sessions, or department training, the resource supports teachers in embedding adaptive teaching strategies within everyday classroom practice.
The PowerPoint is structured to deliver approximately one hour of training, combining clear explanations, reflective discussion points, and practical tasks for staff to complete individually or collaboratively. It explores what adaptive teaching looks like in practice, how it differs from traditional differentiation approaches, and how teachers can adjust teaching to meet the needs of all learners without creating unnecessary workload.
The training includes:
• Clear explanations of adaptive teaching vs differentiation
• Opportunities for staff discussion and reflection
• Interactive tasks and prompts for collaborative thinking
• Practical examples teachers can apply in the classroom
• Flexible slides that can be adapted to suit different schools or contexts
The resource is fully editable, allowing leaders or facilitators to tailor the training to their school priorities, add examples from their own setting, or extend activities depending on the time available.

This teaching presentation introduces the core theory for BTEC DIT Learning Aim A, using slides and video clips to explain how data impacts decision-making. It covers essential concepts like data collection, quality, and security, providing the necessary foundation for students to transition into the practical coursework tasks.
This resource is to support students with their understanding of the many models & theories that appear in the new specification AQA A-Level Business course (7132).
The resource covers 24 different models/theories which appear on the course which students can complete the key information for. The models have been edited to varying depths to both challenge and support the students.
Teaching & Learning Strategies
1. Assign each student in your class 1 or 2 of the models (depending on class size) and they work to become experts on these. Students then teach each other the models.
2. Print & cut out each of the models, students then can go into more depth on the reverse of the model about possible advantages/disadvantages.
3. Print & cut out each of the models to create a fun revision game. On the reverse of each of the models students come up with three words to describe the model/theory. Then play a game of guess the model based on the three word descriptions.
It would be advised that this resource is printed to A3 to maximise its use.
I hope you find this resource helpful.
Thanks!
This is a teacher-training resource comprising 47 slides that I compiled for refreshing teachers on the essentials of teaching and learning. It covers all of the basics, and is designed to be delivered as a one-day workshop. This could be adapted to cover a series of INSET sessions or PD twilights, too.
Topics covered include:
Lesson planning
Active Engagement
Cognitive Load Theory
Learning games
Use of feedback tools like Word Clouds
Spatial Learning
Curriculum Mapping
Please note: You will need to read through these slides and check them before delivery, as they will need to be tailored to your organisation.
The slides also link to some interactive quizzes I’ve created especially for this workshop at Blooket, Quizlet, Quizziz and so on. These should all be publicly available and working correctly.
I’ve also included some Nearpod slides as a bonus - I recommend that you upload these to Nearpod and create your own lesson in their for that section of the workshop (this won’t take long, and you can use the free version of Nearpod).
This worksheet was created to be used for cover lessons, allowing students to practice and recall their knowledge of colour theory, and apply in in a creative way.

L/Q: Can i show a further understanding of Colour Theory and mark-Making.
(Learning Question is along the top of the worksheet, to allow you to crop it down if not needed/necessary).
This worksheet would be most suitable for Key Stage 3.

This is a SOW that was written by me for the COSIM/LESP project. It attempts to help students overcome their misconceptions on the phenomena linked to particle theory. It recomends using the LESP computer programme, but any particle simulation programme will do, so long as students can place the particles where they want to....alternately drawing storyboards also works.
This special issue is being published at a significant point in time in relation to simultaneous changes in higher education, in technology and in the field of learning technology itself. As the 2011 ALT C conference themes clearly state, learning technology needs to learn to thrive in a colder and more challenging climate. In this difficult political and economic environment technological trends continue to develop in terms of mobility, cloud computing, ubiquity and the emergence of what has been called big data.
