I am an English Teacher at an SEMH secondary school. My resources cover a wide range of key stages and abilities to cater for the complex needs of my students. Often my resources will be designed to appeal to older students with a lower ability content, but they still work well for younger students also. I have a big interest in Phonics, low ability resources with a high interest level for older students, creating useful displays and making stickers to aid in my marking.

SCITT Assignments
I had a yearlong salaried placement in Secondary English at my home school including a half term placement at a different secondary school within my federation. I was graded Outstanding for my teacher training year. I was offered a permanent role at my home school for my NQT year before the end of my first term of training. My placement school also offered to create a permanent role for me, but I chose to continue my employment at my home school.
These are the essay based assignments that I completed during my SCITT year, which you may find useful for reference purposes. If the topics I covered are relevant to you, you will find my references particularly useful, as these are a collection of pertinent educational research materials, which I found extremely helpful during my training year; not only in completing my assignments, but I found they did inform my teaching practise.
Where PDFs are available for the research I have referenced, I have included them here, so you will have a bank of educational research ready to go. Where PDFs were not available, web links at the time of writing have been included.
Assignment A
Reflect on how your teaching skills and understanding of secondary education have developed as a result of your second school placement.

With reference to:
• Differentiation, testing and interventions including relevant educational research.

Spelling Correction Colouring In Activity
I use this as a spelling correction activity in my SEMH school.
When marking a piece of work as per our school’s marking policy I correct spelling mistakes.
I choose one spelling and highlight it.
I create the spelling colouring in. I quite often find when marking a set of books the same spelling error is repeated over the same piece of work. Once I have spellings for five or six books, I print out the colouring in sheet, cut out the spelling and paste in. I accompany with a marking sticker asking the student to colour in the word.
I choose to print out on paper and cut out, but I have also created a template for adhesive labels that will fit Avery J8163 or similar 14 labels per page, for those that would prefer to work that way.
Some of my colleagues freehand “bubble write” the spelling directly into the student’s book instead of typing up and printing out, so that is another option that may save you time. My bubble writing is not that tidy, so I prefer to type out and print the spelling, but if you have beautiful bubble writing that option may work for you!
My students really enjoy this activity, and it is a nice task I can get them to complete as they arrive for the lesson, and a little bit different to that standard spelling correction task.
When you and the student look back through their exercise book, these spelling corrections show the spellings they are working on in a clear and colourful way. The students are also able to find the correct spelling quickly and easily if they have corrected it before.
