If you’ve got an open evening coming up you might be wondering how to prepare or what you could offer to those prospective parents. You might already have some resources and be looking for extra activities to put out. Here is my pack of open evening resources, which I’ve used for years. They always help me ensure prospective students are persuaded to take Sociology. I’ve included some resources I use for Psychology too as I know many people teach both but these are easily deleted if you don’t need them. Similarly you may need to change a module or two, if you don’t study the same as our students do. In the bundle is: My door signs / corridor signs All of the interactive activities to put around your classroom (this always gives the room a real buzz and helps keep visitors interested and busy while they wait to speak to the teacher.) A rolling ppt to put on the board for prospective parents and students to read. (you could amend this to add your dept results / entry requirements etc). As a teacher of over 10 years at an outstanding school, (who has examined and tutored), I have spent time compiling exactly the resources students need to excel in their exams. Now I want to pass these on to you. Whether you are a teacher or student these will help you get ready for the exams.

Excel document set up for you to start tracking all student work. You can: Log student names, targets and teaching groups Identify if students fit in key groups such as SEND or if they have exam access arrangements Track homework completion Track folder checks Log grades from quizzes, tests and mocks. This spreadsheet does all the hard work of tracking for you, I’ve sorted the formulas and conditional formatting so that you can just input the raw test scores and it will work out most of the hard work for you. For example: If you input a score on a test, it will work out the percentage and what this is as a grade (for this it is set to use the harshest AQA Psychology grade boundaries - but you could easily change these to any boundaries you want to use e.g. another subject’s grade boundaries). It will work out if the student is on, above or below target in each test. It will then colour code this for you so you can visually see if students are on target easily. When you enter a student as not submitting a homework it will also colour code this orange to enable you to see clearly patterns in missed homework. As a bonus tab I’ve included a tracker to enable you to remember which tests have been set. I use this whenever I set a past paper. This means I never accidentally set the same test twice.
