This drama improvisation scheme of work was written for a KS3 Drama group. It contains suggested activities with extension tasks, homework, lesson objectives, learning objectives and suggested closed and open questions for each lesson. There are seven lessons included in the scheme of work.

I used this presentation at the start of term to encourage staff members to reflect upon personal practice, as well as reflecting on the ethos we would all like to create in our classroom. The Promise Postcard idea worked really well, and after one term I placed the postcards in staff pigeon holes where they reflected on whether they had achieved their own personal target. It can be used for Autumn and Summer term as well by changing the text.

There are five cover lessons included here which are all based on the play "Blood Brothers." These can also be used as one off lessons. Ideally, all of these lessons would benefit from students being able to use the scripts, but this is not essential. The lessons include: Blood Brothers - A Different Ending? Mickey and Eddie Lesson Characters from "Blood Brothers" Music From "Blood Brothers" (Will need you to print the song lyrics) Themes from "Blood Brothers"

There are five sets of marking slips included in this resource where most are also differentiated. This means they can also be used as challenge cards within your classroom.

This resource includes 3 power point slides for an Autumn Term Focus Display where kind words and kind actions are the focus areas. There are suggested words that we could all say to encourage us all to use kind words and demonstrate kind actions. The Spring Term Focus also has 3 power point slides and the focus areas here are accepting difference and personal responsibility. These also have suggestions as to how we can achieve these key areas. You can swap the focus areas around depending upon school priorities in place.

This staff CPD resource looks at how non-verbal behaviour management strategies can be used to promote positive behaviour and avoid confrontation. The CPD looks at how red, amber and green cards can be used within a lesson, as well as how routine can be a great behaviour management tool when your routines are established. Staff will be asked to create an action plan based on the ideas from the workshop where they focus on one class. There are also reminder cards included as to how red, amber, green cards could be used to achieve a whole staff consistent approach. These can be adaped to suit your setting.

This CPD focuses on areas of managing behaviour for positive outcomes from a teaching and learning perspective. The focus areas are: the environment, engagement, differentiation and rewards. There is a worksheet that each member of staff can have to record ideas, and at the end of the workshop each member of staff would complete a promise postcard where they promise to try one of the ideas. These postcards will be collected at the end of the workshop, and returned to staff at the end of the term so they can evaluate their personal progress and review impact.

This staff CPD session focuses on the importance of role modelling to ensure a positive and calm environment can be achieved. Staff will be asked some thought provoking questions where they will need to reflect upon their own practice. This CPD is about self-reflection. There are also some activities that staff will be able to work through. Resources are included.

This power point was created to show how SEND Learners can be individually tracked ensuring clear targets and monitoring. The rationale is explained, and this can be delivered to SEN specialist teams or adapted for Faculties / Departments / Pastoral Teams. The CPD has been spilt into two sections which include: 1 - To embed a tracking system to monitor progress 8 leading to a robust and measurable intervention programme for SEN students in Years 7 – 11. 2 – To maximise outcomes through developing SEN Teaching and Learning provision, including the use of LSA’s. The power point leads you through the information which is supported by an example of the tracking document on word which can be adapted for any setting.
