Scaffolded notetaking resources

(0)
WIKI - What I know Initially - encourages students to scaffold their prior learning before adding new knowledge either during or at the end of a lesson. Has been used successfully with Y7-Y13. WIKI - Teach - What I Know I teach - encourages students to scaffold information before they use it to teach another student or student - also includes space for peer assessment. Used very successfully with Y7-13 and staff!. Adapted Cornell note sheet. Uses the Cornell design but has been adapted to encourage deeper level of thinking - in particular the left hand column scaffolds metacognition. Again used with Y7-13.

STAR chart - KS4 Biology Section 1 - Cells & organisation

(0)
These are A3 posters for classroom display - this one contains all the key words for AQA KS4 Biology (2016 onwards) section 1 (Cells and organisation). It consists of 13 pages with around 30 words per page. They are deliberately not in alphabetical order to assist with retention strategies. These contain more words than the glossaries alone.
SOLO HOT maps - for Biology

SOLO HOT maps - for Biology

(0)
Variety of SOLO style flow charts (sequencing, Compare and Contrast, Describe). Mainly based on Biology concepts but could easily be adapted for any other subject. Perfect for scaffolding students' learning and reaching those ever more challenging higher order thinking skills. Many of the resources are best printed back to back (and often A3). These have been used very successfully with Y7-13 and also staff training. Even if you are not familiar with SOLO taxonomy they are still very useful tools to encourage higher order thinking and consequently the holy grail of challenge!

This is the GSCE chemistry glossary resource translated into Persian. (Primarily matched to the AQA course). It is best used in conjunction with the standard English version. All words and phrases are numbered and match across both languages. There are suggested methods to revise the words. The glossaries are also matched with quiz quiz trade cards and SOLO hexagons for possible classroom activities. Physics and Biology are also available as are other translated languages. As I don’t speak this language please excuse any mistakes in translation!

These are the complete set of GSCE glossaries including Biology, Chemistry and Physics. These are translated into Arabic, Persian and Portuguese. They match the English versions and have the same numbers. As I don’t speak these languages there may be mistakes in the translations. However, I hope that you still find these useful for your EAL students.
OHM work (online homework monitoring)

OHM work (online homework monitoring)

(5)
These are best printed 2 per side and double sided - to give A5 size sheets. These are for giving students when they have online (self marked) pieces of homework. Often there is no evidence of these other than a simple percentage. These sheets provide students with an opportunity to evaluate their progress and also for parents to write a comment. I would perhaps use these 2 or 3 times a half term (rather than every piece of homework). These can be adapted for other online homeworks or KS4. As usual any feedback is welcome.

These are best printed 2 per page and back to back. I have used these as homeworks (but could be used as cover work or lesson activities) to encourage students to be more creative. Have had some fantastic pieces of learning from Y7 through to Y12 students. As per usual feedback is welcome.

Before everything else! Does exactly what it says on the tin! For use with students before they start a topic or lesson. As with exit passes they are best printed 4 per A4 page. Have found the students can make use of these very quickly. Please let me have any feedback with respect to how you useful or otherwise you have found these.

Science extended writing

These are useful literacy resources for marking extended pieces of writing in science. The first document is best printed as 2 per A4 sheet and can be attached to students work to aid feedback. The second document is best printed on A3 as posters for display to provide information for students when undertaking extended pieces of writing. It can also be printed much smaller and provided as an insert for the students' books or files. Please let me know how useful you find these resources.

Have put this visual together as part of the Learn to Learn scheme that I am developing at our school. It shows how the 4 main pillars (Independence / Collaboration / Creativity / Communication) support the learning of all subjects and how it is underpinned by a Growth mindset. There are also some levelled criteria available that I have written for each of the 4 pillars. Please let me know how useful you find this.

Have produced these for use within our Faculty. Best printed 4 per page of A4.\nUseful for student self assessment and also provide quick feedback for the teacher.\nGreat for evidence for work scrutinies / lesson observations.\nSome of these are science specific but most are easily adaptable for any subject.\nI have also produced an exit pass based on SOLO taxonomy in addition to a behaviour version.\nMore to follow if these are to anyone's taste - feedback is welcome - bit like the exit passes really!!
