A couple of Guess the Word Quizes I have just written for my team - they are to be used as starters and energizers at the start of sessions for students, but of course you can use them where appropriate during your lessons. A fun and engaging way to start any Literacy/English lesson.

This resource can be used as a self - assessment/self-reflection document at the end of a module on forest or animal school. I wrote this for a teacher working with an autistic child, with a working at age of around 7-8.

The resource focuses on: Key Principles to consider for developing High Quality Learning and Achievement An introduction to the PAR Model - Present/Apply/Review Discussion points on Effective Feedback Developing a Blame Free Environment for Learning Developing Peer and Self-Assessment The staff training that aligned to this paper was delivered over the course of two terms and was a key objective on our School Development Plan.

It also contains two templates, including a meeting agenda template and a voting slip.

All staff require appropriate training - this resource is the transcript and task notes for a short training session I delivered to Lunch Time Supervisors and Play Leaders. It contains information on assertiveness training and basic Behaviour Mangement tips for Lunch Time staff.

We all require a good template at times to showcase key data. This resource identifies key areas of data relating to individual student behaviour that can be used to present key findings to a Line Manager, school Governors or indeed OfSTED.

This resource contains extensive statements that can be used and developed as part of an effective plenary to review learning that has taken place - it also contains the ‘Plenary Place Mat’ that can be kept by students so that they can regularly reflect upon learning that has taken place in the lesson - in my provision the Plenary Place Mat was stuck to the student desk.

I am presently working with a student who regularly struggles to engage, therefore any evidence of his learning is important. I have compiled an evidence folder to help collate his work, but in addition I have designed this log to record any learning he may achieve and if possible to support the recording of his thoughts and opinions regarding his work; the evidence log may indeed be completed by his key worker. A useful resource to record evidence of work especially for those students who are struggling to engage at all.

A very useful template for collating information on new students to your provision. This can be used by staff supporting the induction of new students or indeed by admin staff who support the collation of information on new students - Once completed this is a useful document to share with key staff who work with the student.

Do you have an induction process for a new student? If so, this resource will help your colleagues get to know them a little better, especially useful in AP where new students may be a little nervous about sharing information; this mini booklet asks some gentle questions to help the colleague inducting the student to collate useful information and encourage discussion.
