Struggling to get release time to monitor Geography or having to complete subject monitoring in your PPA? This Ten-Minute Subject Monitoring in Geography Pack provides a solution to the challenges of having a high level of accountability as a primary subject leader but not having the time to complete the monitoring activities necessary - often because of factors beyond your control, such as the school budget, booking supply or getting cover. Ten-minute subject monitoring works by identifying different time slots where you can be away from your teaching commitments in order to conduct a precise and focused subject monitoring activity on one element, such as a book look focusing on one strand of the Geography curriculum or a single 10-minute lesson drop-in. So rather than trying to find a full afternoon’s cover to conduct a term or half-term’s worth of monitoring, you can spread monitoring across a term by choosing slots where teaching and learning in your own classroom won’t be impacted. Aimed at primary Geography subject leads (or those line managing a Geography subject leader), this pack walks you through the entire process and is full of ideas on how to find and utilise ten-minute time slots for subject monitoring. It also explores what you should be looking for in your monitoring when it comes to the four strands of substantive knowledge in Geography; locational knowledge, place knowledge, environmental, human and physical processes and geographical skills, as well as disciplinary knowledge in Geography. Further subject leader resources are available on our website, Honeyguide-SLS.co.uk

Ideal for behaviour leads, SLT or anyone looking to strengthen staff behaviour management skills, this PowerPoint training session, designed to last for up to an hour, allows for collaboration, discussion and action-planning, and is perfect for INSET days, staff meetings or training sessions dedicated to improving behaviour management. This CPD pack includes a 30-slide PowerPoint designed to last between 30 minutes to 1 hour, this time-saving and ready-to-roll CPD session on avoiding the use of group sanctions is a perfect way to train staff in the different ways they can manage challenging behaviour without collectively punishing or sanctioning pupils who weren’t part of the disruptive behaviour. The session begins with the Mapping section, which outlines how collective group sanctions can erode trust between staff and pupils, damage peer relationship and build resentment (and therefore future potential behaviour issues) among pupils who are unfairly sanctioned for other pupils’ misbehaviour. This is followed by the Routes Forward section, which gives staff practical examples of addressing group behaviour management situations without using collective sanctions through identifying specific behaviours and pupils, using clear and consistent expectations, reinforcing positive behaviour and addressing the root causes of misbehaviour. Presenter training notes are built into the PowerPoint to support you when delivering it to staff. With examples, behaviour management scenarios and thoughtful questions, the training PowerPoint allows for collaboration and sharing between staff members so you can be sure everyone’s on the same page when it comes to knowing the strategies to use to avoid group sanctions. The accompanying Training Action Plan allows staff to identify their start point and mirrors how the training session is laid out, allowing them to create their own bespoke action plan with strategies that address any gaps in their current behaviour management. In addition to this, the ten Behaviour Management Scenarios can be selected from to use in the training session itself or be delivered as a follow-up, allowing staff to show their understanding of the content and apply solutions to real-life scenarios where staff should avoid group sanctions and utilise alternative methods of behaviour management.
