The Teaching Deputy

Average Rating4.19
(based on 67 reviews)

Hello, thank you for looking around my shop. I am a teaching deputy head teacher, with 16 years of experience, who works in a rural primary school. I know how wearing many hats can eat into your time but understand how important excellent resources are for engaging pupils so they make accelerated progress. I have included lots of free resources in my shop but placed a small charge for resources which have taken me many hours to create. I hope you enjoy them and use them to motivate your pupils.

Teamwork Display and group organiser

Here are some team work cards which explain each member's responsibilities. I use these every time I put pupils into groups so they can practise all of the roles. This really develops their confidence as many pupils do not get these opportunities unless you manage different team roles. The roles are as follows: Leader, Organiser, Motivator and Reporter. Below is an example of what the Leader is. As the leader you are responsible for …. • Making sure everyone has a role or task to complete • Making sure it is finished on time • Making the final decision if your group cannot agree • Speaking with an adult if your group is struggling
