A resource I made when I was an NQT. I laminated it and put it in my planner to help when planning literally all of my lessons. It follows Blooms Taxonomy and contains command words for each of the 6 levels. I use these when setting tasks within my lessons so I can be sure to use ones appropriate for the level of challenge I am hoping to achieve.

A poster I made to encourage independent learners. It instructs students on the chain of action if/when they become stuck with their work. SNOT!!!! Self Neighbour Other Teacher I have found the poster particularly effective with more needy Year 7 and 8 classes but it works with any and all groups.

Use to encourage higher order questioning. Can be given to students to pose their own questions - for you, each other or for evidence/source material. Alternatively can be used by teachers to improve their own questioning in lessons and to challenge students more.

Ready made AfL plenary for any lesson! Print off the posters and put them up around your classroom. Ask students to stand by a poster and share at the end of the lesson or stick post-its to the posters before they leave. Can be used for any subject and any Key Stage.

Ready made AfL plenary for any lesson! Print off and make the question cubes. Ask students to roll the two cubes (like dice) and depending on how they land they must compose a question to ask someone else in the class/their partner about the lesson. Can also be used at any point in the lesson to encourage students to ask their own questions. Can be used for any subject and any Key Stage.
