Employability Skills Taster
This lesson was delivered as part of a 1 hour tutorial designed to provide students with a taster of what employability skills, what are employers looking for and to encourage them to start considering what skills they already have. Features teacher prompts and student centred activities.
You will need a classroom with computers and internet access for this lesson.
Might work well at the start of the year for a taster of what skills students should expect to develop on whatever courses they are studying. Can be made subject specific.
Study Skills
A range of resources and lessons originally designed to go towards the Access to HE Study Skills unit. However, these could be ammended for other pre-university courses e.g. A-level.
Activities and guidance sheets include evaluation web pages, a library visit activity focusing on library research skills, time management reflection, CV writing, SWOT analysis production and some interview focused activities.
E-Safety
Aimed at Year 7 students, an activity booklet which students can type into which covers a range of e-safety points which will complement any e-safety unit. The pack also includes students prompts, student instructions for producing their own PowerPoint Presentation on E-Safety, unit evaluations and other handy tips. The pack also looks at file management and saving work effectively.
An e-safety quiz PowerPoint has also been included to be used before students learn about e-safety to assess prior knowledge.
This may well be a useful first unit for year 7's.
Presentation Skills Workshop.
A two part workshop style lesson based on presentation skills which was delivered across two days. It uses a health context, however, this can be adapted to any other subject area.
The main lesson objectives are:
To recap prior learning.
To identify at least 3 poor presentation skills (starter activity).
To reflect on areas of self-improvement in relation to presentation skills (self-audit).
To utilize a strategy for planning an effective presentation.
To deliver a professional presentation which delivers a clear message.
The powerpoint contains student prompts for a carousel activity which will introduce them to the AMPM technique, and guidance on how to incorporate data into their presentations.
All resources have been included, however you will also need two pieces of flipchart paper to enable students to mindmap 'Medium' and 'Message'. There is also minimal cutting needed for the presenter card sort which has also been included. The worksheet entitled 'audience' has also been included which completes the carousel activity.
English, Maths, Employability and Equality & Diversity skills have been embedded throughout.
Induction Week/Enrichment
Presentation crammed with icebreakers, team building activities, and activities to introduce students to concepts such as E&;D, employability, policies etc. Some activities designed to enable students to find their way around buildings etc. Therefore, you will need to design a simple clue sheet about your organisation.
Can be adapted to meet your organisations needs. This was taught over a full day but can be divided up across tutorial/form tutor time etc.
