This is a resource we use to prepare KS2 year 6 children for school transition. We work through the booklet with the children on a 1:1 basis but this can be a self driven document.
The Government’s expert adviser on behaviour, Charlie Taylor, has produced a checklist on the basics of classroom management. Teachers can use it to develop between five and ten essential actions to promote good behaviour in students.
The checklist follows Charlie's recent summit, where headteachers of outstanding schools discussed their views on the key principles for improving behaviour.
You can download Charlie’s checklist and examples of how some schools have adapted it for their own practice here.

This programme looks at increasing the understanding of what it is to be a dyslexic at school and offers innovative classroom strategies to help dyslexic pupils to achieve.
It is estimated that around 1 in 10 school children are dyslexic, that’s an average of 3 students per classroom. So are there simple techniques you can use to work effectively with dyslexic students?
To find out we filmed a Dyslexia Awareness course with Special Needs staff from Sackville School in East Grinstead, as they learnt how to make their classrooms dyslexia friendly. Specialist trainers from the Medway Dyslexia Association put our SEN staff through their paces with various activities designed to put them in the shoes of a dyslexic student, from discussing their hobbies using limited vocabulary to attempting to copy passages written with the Greek alphabet while being timed!
This programme looks at deepening our understanding of what it is to be a dyslexic at school. It allow teachers to empathise with their dyslexic pupils and gives innovative strategies for teachers and LSA’s to use in the classroom to help dyslexic pupils to achieve.

I have developed a number of resources which I use in my PDHPE Curriculum. I have divided the resources into gender specific and this is female students - 'Girl Talk'. It informs the students about where places are private and where they are public. It is designed specifically to teach life skills to secondary aged students. It has inbuilt comprehension to enhance the students learning. If you look at my resources I have a number of other resources which are part of my 'Girl Talk' program.
At Mulberry School in London the inclusion of a group of girls with severe and complex needs is highly valued not just for its own sake but also for the communication challenges and opportunities it presents to their mainstream peers.
Three girls from the Discovery Group visit a local primary school with three mainstream pupils to tell a story to a Year 2 class. Atiyya and Anisa’s former teacher talks about how their presence in her class helped develop the receptive and expressive language skills of other pupils in the class.
Teachers from the Learning Support Group share the knowledge they have built up working with the Discovery Group with mainstream teachers like Kishan Bhatt and Sally Butler. Kishan believes the emphasis he places on promoting scientific language has made a real difference to the less able students in his Year 9 class. Sally Butler organises group work in her Year 9 English class very carefully so that pupils of all abilities are challenged effectively.
This is a lesson looks at Chamonix as a case study for tourism in the alps.

Children need to stay safe on-line and teachers can take practical steps to increase awareness of the dangers. Three simple classroom activities can help here. E-safety consultant Dr Alan Beecham visits Rhodesway Secondary School in Bradford to work with a group of Year 9 students. Dr Beecham, Haroon Gardee, a humanities teacher, and Year 7 Inclusion Manager Max Crowther gauge pupils' reaction to a ficticious profile they created on a social networking site. The second activity highlights the dangers of sharing too much information, and the third focuses on security and privacy settings. At Stocksbridge High School in Sheffield e-safety officers apply a 'safe use of the internet' policy, run parental awareness evenings, and act as a point of contact for pupils.
