The principles of self-regulated learning can be applied to student behaviour: this set of ten (colour & double-sided) printable worksheets fosters student reflection during detentions and other behavioural interventions.
They’re ideal for:
Detentions resulting from disruptive classroom conduct
Students who have been sent to members of the leadership team for supervision
Behavioural interventions with students who have persistent issues with behaviour
Each worksheet includes a variety of reflection tasks and concludes with a space allowing for targets for improvements to be set by the student and reviewed by the teacher or supervisor in charge of their behavioural intervention.
Note: we have included both US & UK English spelling versions in this download due to the number of times the word ‘Behaviour’/‘Behavior’ is used! We hope this will be useful for our nternational customers, members and supporters.

This bundle contains a complete series of workbooks made for GCSE Sociology students. It includes the four new workbooks made for each of the four main sections of the course (Family, Education, Crime & Deviance, and Social Stratification) and, as a bonus resource, my very popular Research Methods workbook.
The workbooks were designed for the AQA specification and adapted for the WJEC/EDUQAS specification (two versions of each workbook are included in this resource pack).
Each of the four main workbooks contains the following:
Student Progress-Check Tasks
A Personal Learning Checklist
Activity 1 - Mind-Map Overview Task
Activity 2 - Reading Comprehension
Activity 3 - Key-Work Match & Listing Tasks
Activity 4 - Online Research Tasks
Activity 5 - Reading Comprehension
Activity 6 - Bare-bones Essay Planning Task
Activity 7 - Creative Tasks (Posters & Poetry)
Activity 8 - Investigate & Report (Newspaper Article Task)
Activity 9 - Reading Comprehension
Activity 10 - Essay-Planning Activity
Activity 11- Essay Assessment
Extension Tasks (Many!)
Each contains 25+ sides of activities and is designed to be printed as a double-sided workbook. The files are in editable Word (.doc) format in-case you wish to make any amendments (e.g. changing the exam questions).
The workbooks are not designed to be a comprehensive: they each include selected readings and cover some (not all) of the topics listed in the specification.
If you are happy with your purchase and leave a 5* rating for this TES bundle, please email me ( godwin86@gmail.com ) and I will send you a FREE ‘Revision Strategy Battle Planner’ which will be useful for your Year 11 students.

Thanks to all of those who have left reviews below and helped this to become the “go-to” resource for teaching Buddhism at GCSE level.
This bundle contains 20 high-quality lessons, each with lesson plans, presentations, and most with worksheets.
It is suitable for all GCSE specifications: especially AQA and OCR.
It covers all necessary material for the ‘Beliefs, Teachings & Practices’ section (Section A) of the course in relation to BUDDHISM.
It is the product of many weeks work: I have aimed to make these resources such that every lesson would receive a good or outstanding rating if inspected.
All lesson downloads include:
-A detailed lesson plan: explaining objectives, differentiation, cross-curricular aims, AfL tasks, and an activity timeline.
-A presentation file designed to the highest professional standard.
-Integrated and varied AfL
-A suggested homework task
The course features 15 worksheets, a ‘Buddhist board-game’ template, various ‘knowledge hunt’ activities and also features an IT Suite Lesson. It is designed to be a complete course for the first year of GCSE Religious Studies teaching.
Downloading this bundle will certainly save you many many hours of preparation time: as a practising Buddhist I hope it will allow Religious Studies Teachers to teach the Buddhist component of their chosen GCSE specification.
Positive reviews are warmly welcomed: I have made this course with pride and hope you will find it comprehensive and useful.
“May you be happy, may you be healthy, may you be peaceful.”

A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)
KS3 RE Units
A professionally designed Christmas quiz for teachers of Food & Nutrition to use with KS3-5 students, featuring 60 well-presented questions, and an answer sheet.
If you like it: leave a 5* rating and email us (godwin86@gmail.com) and we’ll send you a beautiful Christmas Crossword worksheet for free!
The quiz also includes a word-search (on screen) and a couple of anagram rounds.
Fifty of the questions are all Christmas-related and not connected to a specific school-subject: the final ten are subject specific and deal either with GCSE terminology of “fun facts”.
Differentiation can easily be achieved by changing quiz group sizes. The quiz is suitable for KS3-5.
Completing and peer-marking the 60-question quiz should take the best part of a 1-hour lesson.
Generate instant ethical debates!
This is a 200 slide PPT, containing 198 moral/ethical debates, discussions, and dilemmas.
It also contains a ‘randomiser’ slide: when clicked a random moral problem is presented to the group.
Uses:
-P4C (Philosophy for kids)
-Form time activities
-R.S./Philosophy/Citizenship cover lessons
-Debating societies
-Making best use of spare time at the end of lessons
Discussions follow one of four formats, each asking students to move from one side of the room or the other to make their position clear: teachers should then use questioning to foster a debate between students, encouraging them to present reasons for their choice and defend their position.
The formats are:
-“Which is more moral?” (students chose between two options)
-“Agree or disagree?” (where students respond to a presented statement about morality of a moral issue)
-“Who do you save?” (where students need to save one of two people/options, and justify the morality of their decision)
-“Moral or immoral?” (where students cast their judgement on a given action, event or person.
This resource is great value at £4.99 and cannot be found elsewhere:
-It clearly contributes to the Moral aspect of your school’s SMSC provision
-It allows for countless hours of discussion and debate to be structured in a focussed and engaging manner.
-It would take days to reproduce yourself.
-It can save vast amounts of staff time in preparing cover lessons
-It is the perfect way to make the most of any time a teacher might have left at the end of a lesson.
-It deals with cross curricular issues
Please note: this resource deals with controversial issues, debates and questions that may be deemed unsuitable for younger children. It is designed for secondary school students, but can be easily adapted to younger years with appropriate amendments by their teacher.

The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to P4C designed for students in KS1, 2 & 3: it is graphically stimulating, engaging, and fun. This download is also suitable for older students: but the format was designed with younger students in mind.
The topic of this Philosophy Boxes download is ‘Bullying, Exclusion & Friendship’ and it’s intended use is as a PSHE resource or Tutor-time activity.
The aim of Philosophy Boxes is to bring philosophy and critical thinking into every subject at every level: we believe that any subject becomes philosophy when students are asked the right questions and when they think about a topic hard enough and on the deepest (most fundamental) level.
The Philosophy Boxes Method presents students with a set of ‘mystery boxes’, when a student selects one of the boxes they are presented with 1 of 21 discussion/debate activities [that use 1 of 8 different formats].
The presentation has integrated AfL so that teachers can test knowledge at any point in the lesson. There are 10 different AfL slides to choose from.
The design is colourful, animated, fun and engaging: all activities require movement and teachers can decide whether students are expressing their ideas purely verbally or by using post-it notes.
The nature of the design is that it can be used for short sessions (5-10 minutes) or much longer sessions (up to 2 hours!) - it allows for classroom practitioners to be flexible and adaptable. It can, therefore, be used in lessons or as a tutor-time activity.
The download includes a PowerPoint Show; if you would like an editable PPT presentation so that you can make your own ‘Philosophy Boxes’ presentation you will need to download the template here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-the-philosophy-boxes-method-template-for-creating-your-own-philosophy-boxes-lessons-p4c-p4k-11463227
A complete selection of Philosophy Boxes lessons can be found here: https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?&q=philosophy+boxes+godwin86
You can also save money by purchasing lessons as bundles.
Temporary Price Reduction! (Usual price £39.99)
This 20 lesson course is designed for GCSE level students studying Hinduism. It is based on AQA and OCR specs.
It covers all necessary material for the ‘Beliefs, Teachings & Practices’ section (Section A) of the course in relation to HINDUISM.
It is the product of many weeks work: I have aimed to make these resources such that every lesson would receive a good or outstanding rating if inspected.
All lesson downloads include:
-A detailed lesson plan: explaining objectives, differentiation, cross-curricular aims, AfL tasks, and an activity timeline.
-A presentation file designed to the highest professional standard.
-Integrated and varied AfL
-A suggested homework task
Over 15 worksheets are included in this pack.
Downloading this bundle will certainly save you many many hours of preparation time.
Positive reviews are warmly welcomed: I have made this course with pride and hope you will find it comprehensive and useful.
