This is a complete KS3 scheme of work for the topic of Cyberbullying (ideal for year 8/9)
This SoW has been designed to be delievered with or without specialist knowledge so could be useful for a long term cover teacher. Each lesson contains a PowerPoint with teacher notes (lesson plan) incorporated into each slide.
This is a 7 week SoW and also includes:
Appropriate resources
Formal Scheme or Work overview
Self Assessed Traking sheet (end of project)
(x2) homework opportunities
I have created this Drama scheme of work as an 'off the shelf' unit of work that contains everything you need. All you are required to do is print appropriate numbers of resources/assessment sheets as required.
Each lesson has differentiated progress learning outcomes that follow the format: GOOD, BETTER, BEST (feel free to adapt inline with your own institution's policy)
The self assessment tracker has been designed to produce measureable/evidential outcomes for 'Life After Levels' and includes an opportunity for students to write their own reflective analysis (www/ebi) and to set their "Next Steps" developmental targets.
I believe in creating engaging opportunities for students that appeals to their needs. This is a modern SoW which addresses many of the current issues our teenagers are facing. Each PowerPoint should be used to 'guide' the learning and not to actually 'be' the learning. Encourage active participation in the every lesson and do mix the students into different ability/social groups.
Each powerpoint lesson has a title page but this is for reference only and shouldn't be displayed to the students. They are to see the starter activity slide to engage thinking from the moment they enter the room.
A guide to setting/using effective hinge questions in your lesson to demonstrate visible progress.
Teachers must be confident that students have an understanding of the topic studied before moving on; hinge questions provide a fantastic (and quick) platform to visibly measure progress.
*This resource is targeted at the Arts but can be adapted for any subject.

This is a quick guide to setting meaningful 'learning' outcomes when lesson planning.
I created this resource for the staff in my faculty after it was apparent that they were setting "doing" activities.
When prompted by observers it was apparent that students knew what they were doing...but not what they were learning.
*This resource is designed for performing arts however it can be quickly adapted to any subject area.
