This marking scheme has completely saved me from endless marking and piles of books write in! Super easy, clear, concise and even involves self-evaluation from the children.
This booklet allows students to study themselves to identify job they would enjoy and the different route to it. They are shown how to write a CV, cover letter and prepare for an interview. Wages and types of pay are studied along with tax and National Insurence
Something for you, to help you plan for a work-life balance. The charts are intended to be enlarged to A3, laminated and filled in with board pens which can be wiped clean. Where students follow individual activity plans you could adapt the chart to suit. They are made to be customised and to that end there are also additional quotes to choose from. You can insert your own photos too.

This is a PDF of training that I put together for NQTs in my LA to give them some specific strategies on how to help manage their time and their workload. There are some 'quick wins' here, as well as some ideas on how to efficiently manage diaries using outlook and how to use meeting minutes to evidence meeting the teaching standards. I have used advice from TES forums in the training too - so I promised I would share it when it was done.

Scales and beam balances do not work in microgravity. In this activity, teachers will construct inertial balances so that groups of students will be able to demonstrate how oscillation is used to measure mass where there is little to no gravity. 'Student reader' pages provide background information about inertia and microgravity. Student learning may be assessed through the calibration graphs and data sheets.
