Year 12/13 Psychology Assessment and Tracking Sheets

(0)
I use these Tracking and Targeting sheets with my 6th Form Students. They transfer the comments that I have made on their work onto their tracking sheets. The idea is that the students and I can easily track what they need to do in order to move in. This can be kept at the front of their files, or in may case I keep these in an folder attached to the wall - easy for me and my students to access. I also ask them to look at their tracking sheet before they start the next essay/LAQ and write the target at the top of the work - to focus them!

DISTANCE LEARNING Paper 2: 1. Introduction to Family and Conjugal Roles

(0)
This is an introduction to Yr12 AQA Sociology Family. I created it for 1st Lock Down. It’s broken down into **4 one hour lessons. ** I used this with my 3 Year 12 groups, they found it easy to follow and I believe it develops a good level of knowledge and understanding, and importantly encourages students to do something with this acquired knowledge to help make links and develop analytical and evaluative skills. I have made a reference to Clickview - which not all schools use. There may need to be an alternative sought. **
