A document relaying the findings taken from a Year 11 PSHE class as the students were asked to enter open discussion and complete a Reality Timeline in relation to their lives. The lesson led to the students expressing 'their&' views and painting a picture of what life means to them and how they felt. The discussion led to a shared view that the channels of &';support' within schools could be made clearer and that PSHE-type lessons &'could&'; focus on the 'real&' picture.

Resource used in class to allow pupils/students to plan and map their own learning outcomes, with additional acknowledgement of on-going targets and understanding and measuring of effectiveness of classroom teaching practice.

A tool first used in a training environment working with L2-L3 Teaching Assistants. The 'mountain&' concept is introduced with the whole class working as a team throughout the 12-week course where it is explained that the &';team' progress takes into account the slowest learner to ensure 'nobody is left on the ground'. As a visual-tool to promote development in class the Learner continually adds to each block of the mountain and gradually observes as their journey unfolds towards their peak.

A simple but effective Timeline tool for use with Learners to assist their visual focus towards what they want to achieve in their lives. The resource can be adapted to assist personal development and reflection; exploring issues from the past that effect the future; target-setting; forward-planning. I use this tool generally on A3-paper and some of the results with individual learners have been very insightful.

A Today Sheet developed to allow the Teacher to decide the day-to-day Outcomes and classroom focus 'with&' the learner involvement, i.e. the Learners participate in deciding their own Today-plan. The use of this resource was graded a 1 via external inspection and linked/was supported by the Learner ILP.

Resource used within Mixed-Learner settings, particularly at initial Teacher-Learner/Student meeting. The resource contains two direct questions with the Learner then left to respond to these in their own way. The effectiveness of this resource by results from use to date has seen a wide-range/number of Learners completely 'open-up&' and &';identify' with their &'past/former&'; situation prior to moving forward to realise their future/on-going targets.

A sheet developed for learning environments as a means of each learner capturing subject matter that may otherwise not be covered through a typical/scheduled lesson. The Off-Piste Sheet links to the Of(in)ste(a)d Resource for a highly effective and innovative/thoughtful approach to thoroughly involving a learner-focussed approach to teaching.

A reading resource used within school and community-based settings as a tool to assist individuals coping with anxiety, isolation, lack of self-belief, suicidal thoughts or tendencies. The document was created by Tor Alexander Bruce, a Teacher and Learning Coach/Mentor, whose own life experience is discussed within the document.

A report/account of a method of 'silent' teaching/intervention.

Study material originally used to advise/work with parents with children. Compiled by a Qualified Teacher, Tor Alexander Bruce, with a range of experience of having these conditions himself and who has worked extensively over a period of 11 years with young people from disengaged background and the services that represent them. Can be used as part of a Classroom Study project for PSHE or for general insight into Gilles de la Tourette syndrome.
