Hi my name is Becky. I am a Business Studies and ICT teacher. I have taught Business Studies to KS4 and 5 and ICT to KS3-4. Exam boards taught Applied, BTEC and Cambridge Technicals Business, OCR Nationals ICT and AQA ICT.
You will notice in my resources that I try to include kinaesthetic activities as well as independent learning. I also try and relate most of my work to real life examples that students will engage with and understand.
