Last year I was worried about the lack of aspiration and female voice in my classroom. the girls were all too happy to sit there working quietly and for the lads to have their say. Female underachievement in high schools deserved as much focus as focus as the typical ’ white middle ability boys’. I asked my classes to pick their favourite quote from the list and copy it up BIG and BOLD onto the front of their exercise books to remind them to get into the right mindset and the start of each lesson. I hope they become useful for you too. There are quotes from Jesus, Hillary Clinton, Mother Teresa and Maddonna, amongst others.

Feedback in schools is becoming ever more important as Ofsted’s new framework shifts the focus away from traditional book marking to look at how teachers are opening dialogue about learning with their students. This is a cause I can totally get on board with and promote, especially when it comes to verbal feedback- which does not need a paper trail to prove it’s existence. I studied common coaching questions to come up with this short list than can help structure 1-2-1 discussion with students after their tests; with their papers in front of them/ This approach has proven to be highly effective within schools. I have made a short vlog about this resource on my YOUTUBE channel ‘time smart teaching’ called ’ feedback in 5’.

Affirmations are like declarations said to ones-self to generate positivity and introduce a state of quiet mindfulness in the present. Schools can often be chaotic and stressful places to work and there has been a strong movement towards the focus on teacher and support staff wellbeing / well-being. I wrote these 12 teacher affirmations as part of my recent ebook ( and now on paperback) Time Smart Teaching: 8 Insider Tips to Reduce Workload that School’s Don’t Tell You! Exclusively to Amazon. I thought they would be worth sharing seperately for others to use on INSET or departmental time or as part of their whole-school policy. I intend to make a YOUTUBE slide show with these backed by beautiful calming music, and will place the link to this below / on the next page.

I’m sharing this super-useful tool I have devised for getting feedback from your student’s on their confidence and understanding on your curriculum. This proforma has focussed on GCSE Geography Physical topics from paper 1 -UK physical landscapes, and Human paper 2 ’ Changing Economic World’. I have broken down each topic into 8 broad sections for ease, although you can alter the radial diagram if you wish. I used this for my year 11 classes to find out exactly where to focus my revision and intervention strategy for maximum impact. The segments that were less shaded/ left blank were areas of weakness. As it is visual feedback, you can almost instantly where gaps in knowledge are across multiple students, without the need for counting and data analysis. The added benefit is that student are learning about another data presentation technique for Paper 3 in the process! These can be stuck into student books/ revision folders as evidence of self assessment and used to set themselves appropriate target for revision also. This could be adapted for any subject or stage level.
