This is a powerpoint navigated lesson that works on many levels. It leads students to consider what they want to improve and then gives them a simple but magical tool to do it in the form of a scorecard. Particularly useful for tutor time, or for New Years Resolutions or for any reflection and target setting or goal setting. It can be focused on school targets and be used to encourage students to take responsibility for their own learning and achieving progress. Useful for students and also for teacher’s - I’m much more organised and self disciplined now I use my scorecard ! :-) Could even be used as an active assembly - each student would simply need a scorecard and a pen to participate. Both the Powerpoint and excel files are fully editable. Happy teaching Barclayfox.
