Six forms to help make your life easier! These forms will help when students are absent from lessons. The five forms are:
1. while you were away - if a student is absent, fill in this form so they know what work they need to do and any homework that was set. This eliminates the what did I miss conversation at the beginning of each lesson. I would fill it out right at the beginning of the lesson so you don't forget!
2. Miss/Sir i won't be in lessons - a form for students to fill in letting you know when and why they wont be in lessons. This will help you plan for their absence and set them some work while they are away.
3. See me - a note to pass round registers or to the student in class about when they can catch up on the work they missed.
4. Student excuse - a form for students to fill when they do not complete homework, this helps you understand why more discretely. It also means you can keep a track of who forgets and how many times.
5. When will i be getting a visit from you - if students have missed work and need to catch up they fill in this form so you know when they are free.
6. Have i missed you - if a student hasn't received the work that they missed they fill in this form so you know what work they need.
I hope these help you in your everyday teaching. Please review if you liked it or if you can offer any constructive criticism. Apologies for any mistakes that i may have neglected.
