Assess how successful a selected local enterprise has been in achieving its main purpose.
Analyse how entrepreneurial characteristics and skills support the purpose of a selected local enterprise.
Describe the entrepreneurial characteristics and skills demonstrated in each selected local enterprise.
Compare the purpose, activities and aims of two contrasting local enterprises.
Outline how entrepreneurial characteristics and skills support the purpose of each selected local enterprise.
Outline in detail how the activities and aims meet the purpose of two contrasting local enterprises.
Identify entrepreneurial characteristic and skills demonstrated in each selected local enterprise.
Identify the purpose, activities and aims of two contrasting local enterprises.

In the run up to completing the Programming Project (NEA) for OCR GCSE Computer Science, it is sometimes difficult to track and monitor progress. Students often don’t take suitable notes or keep detailed comments on their previous code to serve as an aide memoire in future programming. This learning diary facilitates student reflection and evaluation of their learning within a lesson and allows progress to be tracked across a series of lessons. It could also be used to support tracking the progress of students within NEA lessons, perhaps as part of a homework.
A mat to give tips and hints on writing an extended answer question in GCSE Computer Science - useful for explaining how to get the top marks in a 6 mark question
A set of 7 PowerPoint presentations which take students through the “model” exam answers to a series of questions relating to the topic of Architecture, Memory and Storage.
All teachers are teachers IN English and therefore they are teachers OF English. Each curriculum subject organises language in specific ways and that full access to the curriculum will be denied to learners, unless they are taught how to unlock and manipulate subject-specific language.
Session objectives
By downloading this pack, you will learn how to:
understand reasons why subject specialist teachers need to teach the aspects of literacy that are relevant to their subject
have a range of strategies designed to assist learners to access the curriculum whilst also learning to use subject-specific language
have an overview of the linguistic skills learners may have acquired by ages 7-11 years and 11-14 years
understand the ways in which subject-specific language is different from the everyday language of spoken English
Retrieval practice is a strategy in which bringing information to mind enhances and boosts learning. Deliberately recalling information forces us to pull our knowledge “out” and examine what we know. Retrieval practice makes learning effortful and challenging. Because retrieving information requires mental effort, we often think we are doing poorly if we can’t remember something. We may feel like progress is slow, but that’s when our best learning takes place. The more difficult the retrieval practice, the better it is for long-term learning.
Objectives
By purchasing this resource, you will learn how to:
understand what the research tells us about retrieval practice
effectively embed retrieval practice into your classroom
understand the science of learning linked to retrieval practice
utilise retrieval practice in revision strategies
