Intelligent Accountability: Creating the conditions for teachers to thrive by David Didau, This video and presentation talk you through some of the key points (actually, it doesn’t - it is more of a teacher’s first reaction to having read it). However, if you check out the video in comibination with the blog post at Wolsey Academy - it should give you a better idea of the content of the book. This is a hugely important book for the future of education. I hope this short intro helps.

Lesson activity templates (200+ slides) History, Geography, Computer Science, Business Studies

Lesson activity templates (200+ slides) History, Geography, Computer Science, Business Studies

(0)
Lesson activity templates (200+ slides) History, Geography, Computer Science, Business Studies, English. I started teaching 12 years ago and in my PGCE year I made a ppt file (modestly) called ‘Master Plan’. In there I collected every lesson activity that I could so I could save time by recycling slide templates but also it proved to be a great reservoir of ideas if I was ever stuck for a lesson. And so here it is, hopefully others can benefit too. They’re divided up into Starters, Development, Plenary and Resources – but they can all be mixed, matched and edited to your needs! I’ve taught History, Geography, Computer Science, Business Studies and English during the last 12 years (Jack of all trades, master of none…) so the templates come filled in with a wide range of existing information/activities but the idea is not to use these slides in your lessons directly – but just like I’ve done, use them for inspiration and quick editing. If you’re on the hunt for high quality lessons in the subjects mentioned above please visit Wolsey Academy for more! Hope it helps.
