Open Evening Activities - Psychology

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 psychology. I’ve included the resources i use for Sociology 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 year 2 module or two, if you don’t study the same three as our students do. In the bundle is: My door signs Six 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). 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.

Student Feedback Activities This download contains two key sheets to help when giving feedback to students: Student tracking sheet. DIRT reflection sheet (A4 and A5 versions) Student tracking sheet. This sheet lives in student folders. On it they track each test / assessment they do. This is a nice visual log for them to track if they are on target or not. It also helps pupils see clearly how well they are doing in different assessments/ topics. They can also log on this sheet their strengths and areas to improve so that they can track these over different assessments too. DIRT reflection sheet (A4 and A5 versions) This sheet can be attached to an assessment or given out when work is given back. Students should be allowed a few minutes to fill this in. This sheet gives them time to think about what they did well / not so well and also gives them space to redo a question / part of a question. Giving students this DIRT time has been shown to help them learn more from feedback and make greater progress towards their goals. 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.
