A great way to support teaching and learning and get your self noticed as an eager member of staff looking to develop their career. Send these out on email to all staff to promote awareness and create a working group to trial the favourite techniques. This can be the start of great professional career for you - I know it helped to start mine, now I'm a lead practitioner!

A fantastic game for engagement that allows a large amount of knowledge to be used and gained in minutes. I have included the template form and an example one that I created. In the future I will be adjusting box size to vary points per question as the difficulty increases. All you need is students in pairs and 2 dice per pair. I laminated the sheets and gave the students counters so it felt more personal to them.

This is a resource pack for delivering CPD to staff about challenge. The CPD was a huge success with many departments applying features into schemes of work following this. To do before running the CPD: Get a list of staff attending and on what days. Prepare an example seating plan for each member of staff and a pack of different coloured stars to demonstrate how simple it is to selectively group students on target grade, ability, reading age and KAGAN group structures. print off a pack for each member of staff and add a name label on to make it personal. Allow people to start the nonsensical task on entry and then start delivering the CPD talking through each strategy. Provide the briefing sheet before the CPD or after to further support your session and embed it further.

A quick and organised way to plan for your teaching day making sure you have all the vital aspects in your lessons. Also useful to help staff with organisation or even for getting your ideas down befor important observations I have added an example in the first lesson based on a continental drift science lesson
