Most tools found in Design must have a Risk assessment linked into a lesson plan. These will need adapting to suit the machine that you have, however, the main bits are there. I have these in my OneDrive and add links into my lesson plans when the machines are in use.

Pupils love this project, nice introduction to senior school and design and technology. Uses Pine, Aluminium and Acrylic.

Key Stage 3 homework booklet. They start with simple hints and tips and take the pupils through to more complex designs. We have used these for the last 5/6 years and they do make a huge difference. They are also very easy to mark.

<p>Not 100% accurate until we actually get some grade boundaries from the exam board, however, this is based from the English and Maths grade boundaries of last year so shouldn’t be a million miles away.</p> <p>Will be very handy for those of us with mock year 10 exams coming up and need to have something to base our marks from, it will at least give the students some idea of where they are up to!</p> <p>This is fully automatic, simply add your class lists and teacher name if you have more than one subject teacher (we have 8!) and add the marks, the grid will do everything else for you. It is then also very simple to change the grade boundary for next year, simply un-hide the columns on the right hand side and alter the numbers to match the percentage.</p>

I have been using this simple tracker to engage pupils and help them through their coursework. They love it and lets them quickly know which areas of their work that they need to focus on.
