Hi all. I work in developing resources for RE and Sociology based on the NEW AQA Specifications for 9-1. My resources aim to make planning more efficient and support targeting to raise pupil progress. I am proficient in developing a range of resources that will have longevity and a positive impact on learning and progress.

Simple revision sheet for all pupils studying the AQA A 9-1 GCSE Islam unit. Summarises the main parts between articles and pillars in Sunni Islam. The majority of questions in beliefs and practices focus on the 6 articles and 5 pillars. This would be ideal for Grade 3-6 students and it has also been good for grades 7-9 as a form of revision.
This resource can be printed on A4 and acts as a bridge between beliefs and practices
In the updated SOW for GCSE Christianity, there is an emphasis on links.
Pupils can use this in the following way:
Revision tool/knowledge organiser
Highlight key words
Allocate a range of influences to each belief and then rank them in importance or relevance to promote higher levels of understanding
Number each influence and allocate to each belief beginning which ones apply to most of them.
Teachers can use it to:
develop pupil’s written response with small chunks of information on influences and importance.
For example, the crucifixion has obvious influences but also has specific responses.
pupils can be stretched to further develop each influence or practice to show deeper understanding especially for 4, 5 and 12 mark extended writing.
Check knowledge and understanding through quizzing
Pupils can do self test (I do, we do, you do)
In class discussion, teacher can call target pupils with each belief and see how many influences they can recall or link.
In class discussion, pupils can make active links to the beliefs and practices.
A story board to support the AQA A Islam 9-1 Beliefs and practices. Ideal for lower ability and for use with higher ability pupils who may omit basic beliefs when developing their responses.
A list of beliefs and practices with key bits in bold to support learners who revise best through lists. I have tried to reduce fact so it is in small chunks. Pupils can use the sheet printed on 4 sheets per page and fold for a mini cards revision list. Supports learners of all abilities. As a teaching tool can be used to check misconceptions, affirm previous learning and be used a tick sheet to self reflect on what pupils know.

A Quick guide to supporting pupils with Special Educational Needs based on the most common exam commands from the AQA Spec B GCSE Religious Studies Course. The commands apply across a range of subjects that are 100% written exam. The command response table has allowed colleagues to scaffold commands and support TA's to develop more independence.
A self and peer assessment presentation to support pupils with marking theirs and others written answers using the AQA Mark Scheme for levels of response. The spec ends next year but these slides can support marking and teaching or preparation for mock and final exams. I have used the Specification to formulate the slides.
This is for colleagues teaching the AQA Spec B Religion and Life issues course. The topic is about early life and abortion. It focusses on using the exemplar answers to develop better written answers. The Presentation will benefit other topics by focussing on the skills and level of response. Great for revision and getting pupils to write more and develop their responses.
Hi colleagues this for the GCSE Religious Studies AQA SPEC B Religion and Life Issues Unit 2 and focusses on the topic of Religion Early life and Abortion. Relevant for Exams in Religious Studies till June 2017
Colleagues can cover the syllabus through revision using this knowledge organiser

These Knowledge organisers have been used and I have received positive feedback from colleagues and pupils. Pupils have used them to prepare for assessments and have shown progress. This will be relevant for pupils studying the OCR , EDEXCEL and WJEC Specs but most relevant to AQA Religious Studies Spec B.
