Mr J's Resources

Average Rating5.00
(based on 12 reviews)

Hello, I trained as an industrial designer, then found myself training as a D&T teacher (great choice!). I've been at it for nearly 20 years now. I was a subject leader for 10 years, leading one of only 10 schools in the country to be recognised by the SSAT as leading edge for D&T. I'm also a past recipient of the DATA annual awards for leadership. I am now in senior leadership, but still teach D&T to KS3,KS4 & KS5 weekly. All resources are well designed, and do what they say on the tin!

KS5: AQA A-level Design & Technology NEA Guide (Coursework / Controlled Assessment)

(1)
A full set of NEA guidance booklets for A-level D&T. The booklets talk the students through a ‘standard’ NEA powerpoint / portfolio. Each has a page by page description, along with doodles of what a page should look like (but doesn’t breach the exam board guidance). Has been used successfully for 2 years now, with high grade results. Students have been highly complimentary as to the guide’s usefulness and clarity. This is not 200 pages of written content, it’s written for 17/18 year olds, so get’s to the point without waffling or being too vague. NB: I teach section A&B (as known by AQA in the specification) as ‘Section A’ as I find it easier to do the brief/spec in the first chunk. Therefore the guidance appears as only 4 sections, but does cover all 5.

Both the GCSE and A-level guides bundled together. Both are of the same matching style working with diagrams against clearly written student focussed helpful guidance. All within a printable (and editable) A5 booklet. The GCSE guide is a single booklet. The A-level one is broken down into 4 sub booklets as I’ve found that easier to use with older students. Written for AQA specifications, but very easily adaptable for OCR etc.
