ULTIMATE RESEARCH GUIDE- Art & Photography
I have found these resources really helpful with all levels of ability in A-Level Art & Design and Photography lessons when responding to artists/ photographer and research. I have also trialled these resources with high ability GCSE students- and it worked great.
Research and Analysis ( Assessment Objective 1 for me) has long been a tricky and troublesome subject to deal with for any student- as most students would much rather be doing something practical. To make the whole process a little less painful I made these resources to use in lesson as presentation material in PowerPoints- and also as helpsheets to aid/support research.
Questions as simple as ... how do I put research in my book...? how much research should I do...? ... is research necessary...?... how do I research...? will be eased with these resources.
For your £3 you get... a PowerPoint with 21 slides of resources and examples to help you with research... I have also uploaded the slides as numbered and titled worksheets to make printing easier. It took me a good while to make and refine, but I have found the SUPER GRID really useful in particular for "on computer" research responses for students- and the class work sheet really useful for "real life" lessons and image critique/ analysis/ peer assessment. I regularly use all of the slides in my lessons and hopefully you will find them useful as well...the examples of artists in particular have been really well received by students....

Photography /Photoshop Teaching Resource:
This PowerPoint is really useful in giving groups of students guided details for how to develop images using Photoshop. There are 40 slides of guides, exemplar images and task details in the guide. It has been really useful for all ranges of abilities at both GCSE and A-Level. The guide is straight forward enough to give to individuals to learn by themselves- or it has been great to use for entire lessons for developing images in Photoshop.

GCSE Art: "Getting an A* Guide"
This does what is says on the tin- it is a checklist for students to use to check that they are doing all they can to refine their work and target areas to improve in each different assessment area in GCSE Art and Design- The AO`s are bound to change at some point- but this has been really useful to give to students and have them self evaluate their progress.
It has been useful for AFL and peer marking in lesson- and also as a (more beefy) starter. I have also had students checking eachother's portfolios to target areas to improve- which ended well ...in most cases (aside from one GCSE group- where tension ran high following a heated disagreement over A04. Luckily I was able to dissolve the the situation with singing and star jumping at the same time (which I believe is the answer to most classroom management issues).

It has been useful as a checklist and prompt for initiating conversation about what successful units of work need to show.

Photography / Photoshop Shortcuts and Guides
I have used this PowerPoint and Worksheets in this resource in my GCSE and A-Level Photography (and Fine Art) teaching/ lessons to help students deal with problems, learn shortcuts and work more effectively and efficiently.
They have been great for dealing with large numbers of students- when they are all on Photoshop at the same time - or if you want something quick to refer to to make lessons run smoothly. The cheat sheets and quick guides help students get into the technical side a bit quicker.
I have also included 3 guides / checklists that help when students when they are photographing images- and marking/editing and cropping their contacts once they have taken the photos.

Photography & Photoshop Teaching Resource 2
I made this guide to support and inspire Artists and Photographers at A-Level when they develop their work using Photoshop. I have found it really useful to dip in and out of for individual support or to base entire lessons around. The presentation can be used as a tool for demonstrating as well as a resource for students to use and refer to in lesson. This is also a great resource when used in combination with my other Photoshop Guide.
It shows you how to develop your images using layering, collage joiner techniques, series, arrangements and canvas extensions.

Guides for Preparing a Creative Portfolio for Uni/College-
This resource is intended to give students guides and tips for preparing to make their Creative Portfolio for Fine Art/ Photography. It also contains examples of possible questions (and responses) that students will be asked when they attend College and University Interviews.
These resources are supported by Videos I have made using my own work to illustrate the tips and guides- They can be found http://bit.ly/1HEaYOo
Portfolios and interviews can be stressful for students- and lengthy for teachers to prepare students for-considering the time constraints of A-Level teaching- so I made this resource to help both teachers and students :-)
