Save time writing "Well Done, Excellent Effort" or any number of positive comments to students by using these pre-written templates with a selection of positive praises already written for you. Such as Excellent Effort, Creative Contributions, Marvellous Manner and Hardworking Homework. This resource is fully editable so you can add your own positive phrases or even some SMART ones.
The style of the passes are to mimic an email, with a place to write who the email is to (the student you are praising) and a subject (the reason why your are giving them the praise).
A few ticks to chose the reason for the praise and the job is done. You can praise a class in minutes, the students love taking these home to show their parents and stick on the fridge!
You could embed the use of these Praise Passes further by rewarding students who collect 3 over a given time. Your purchase includes a tracker that can be stuck in students books. Every time a positive pass is awarded they would stick on the correct space on the tracker and upgrade to a phone call home. This upgrade can be changed to suit your schools positive behavior policy.
These personalised revision cards are an ideal alternative to plain index cards.
Students can use the front cover to reflect about what they want to learn. They then use the revision cards to write their notes and can even use the Content Page to index the cards so they can locate topics quickly.
At the back there is a Keyword glossary page for students to write definitions of keywords relating to the topic.
As you can see from the picture I have had mine spiral bound so students can quickly flick between revision notes.
The generic cards can be used for most subjects and allow the student to write their name, target and topic the cards are about.
Really useful to focus revision .
Outstanding Behaviour management tool for those students that need a gentle reminder of the steps that they should take to get it right. The resource comes ready made with instruction how to personalise for your name and image.
I have used as a discreet reminder to students who just need pointers about what is expected rather then escalating the issue further. The reverse has the rewards that can be rewarded once a student gets it right.
The presentation comes with access to all areas of the cards to personalise to your requirements. Therefore if my "steps to success" font match yours then you can change them prior to printing.
Printing double sided along the small side will result in accurate back to back printing which can be laminated to make the cards reusable.
Enjoy.
Tutor Report Knowledge Harvest
Excellent worksheet to help collect important key information you might want to include on a end of term report.
Also a good method of getting to know your students either in form or in a lesson.
Can be done as homework.
Colorful and easy to follow with clear sections to complete such as Hobbies, School/Career Aspirations, School Performance ETC.
Fun method of assessing and demonstrating progress in a lesson. Can be used in any topic and students enjoy the graphical look of the Mario Brothers theme.
Use the steps and castle slide to show the objectives to be working towards. Have this replicated into hand out worksheets like the Progress Checker document attached. Students then complete this as a starter and can have it to hand to check their progress in the lesson.
When re-capping the starter have the ladder slide on the whiteboard and ask students to add their initials next to the level that they feel they are currently.
Teach the lesson and then ask students to put their initials next to the level they are at now and to complete the sheet from the starter to justify why they are at that level.
This is then a perfect discussion point to check why they are at that level and to peer assess by questioning others in the class.
Outstanding way to demonstrate progress in the lesson or over a short period of time.
Fantastic worksheet to show progress in a lesson.
Used mainly in my Computer Science lessons but can be used in any topic where students complete end of unit tests.
Students identify areas they need to improve and also identify the impact of their improvement, for example the number of grades they would be from their target if they make the improvement.
My students know this as levelling up.
This is a template that I have developed for my classes to save some valuable time. It has some generic tick boxes for some of the things I found I was constantly writing when I marked and it also has a place I can write a strength (S) and a target (T). The "E" refers to the effort that the student has put into the work. The blank box at the bottom right is so that the student can write a response to my feedback.
You could use these as labels and print them on a label if you wish.
Saved me lots of time and helped me keep my marking consistent.
