The A3 Concept mats are great for developing the ability to retrieve information, link topics/themes and the overall ability to conceptualise topic. (A much needed skill for the extended writing questions on both papers). There is one per theme -A-E and then some mats have multiple crossovers to encourage students to find ways to connect topics/themes to through meaningful and purposeful links. These mats test Citizenship knowledge as well as encourage critical thinking. It is advised to to complete a mat first yourself and then to model it with the class, especially to support lower ability students.

A helpful marking and feedback teacher mat to aid Early Careers Teachers particularly. (Citizenship specific -but could also be used by teachers of other subjects, as it is fully editable) The mat demonstrates the difference between target marking and comment marking and aims to help you ensure that your marking is more purposeful and effective, thereby improving student attainment. The mat includes ready made questions that can be given as feedback to students and helpful guidance on not only when to mark, but how to mark. A free resource that i hope you find useful. Having been an ITT Coordinator for 3 years, and a mentor prior to that, I always shared this with my student teachers to help them manage their marking and feedback workload. Made using Publisher
