Average Rating3.48
(based on 16 reviews)

A range of resources will appear in this shop reflecting a varied teaching career. Resources for Btec Health & Social Care levels 4 & 5 are well catered for along with careers education. There are complete lesson activities and posters. The range is becoming increasingly eclectic as my curiosity widens - branching out, for instance, into philosophy. Education, as we all know, is not just about exam success; it is about creating a thirst and curiosity for life - the ultimate goal.

3 GREAT POSTERS TO PROMOTE READING

(0)
If we can get our students to fall in love with reading, the rest will follow. Concentration span, focus and thinking skills are as high on the list of the attributes of a reader as is having great grammatical awareness and vocab’ range. Promoting the books of Stephen Fry (Mythos) and Bill Bryson (Short History of Nearly Everything & The Body - a guide for occupants), these posters are full of fascinating facts accessible for readers from KS3. Excellent resources for assemblies on literacy, form tutors to promote and general display. Did you know: it takes 8 light minutes for the sun’s rays to reach us, traveling at 186,000 miles per second; what is you is actually 80% water!

THE FEYNMAN TECHNIQUE - SIMPLY BRILLIANT

Not another revolutionary idea, just simple basic genius. Teaching not only gives knowledge but gives the teacher mastery. Students become the teachers. You will see them conquer the basics, develop depth, learn how to reflect, pose and answer questions. Establishing this strategy throughout and at topic end gives you the confidence that your students learning journey is secure. A huge confidence builder and a boost for independent learning - an easy assessment opportunity for you and exam success for them.

3 posters for whole school display and focus assemblies around. All 3 are designed to get students thinking about their futures - where they are, how to get to where they want to be and the skills that will get them there. They are a good visual presence for visiting Ofsted inspectors looking for evidence of the school’s commitment to careers. The essential message is the importance of commitment, building employability skills and valuing education.

POSTER - STRATEGIES TO REDUCE PHONE USE

This may sound counter-intuitive - promoting 5 apps designed to reduce usage. Information put into easily digestible student speak from a UK Guardian newspaper article. Some statistics that can shock us all into realising we can be sucked in and a comment about the role of behaviour psychologists in feeding phone addiction. Displayed around the school, at the very least, it may raise awareness.
HOW TO STAY FOCUSED AND ACHIEVE

HOW TO STAY FOCUSED AND ACHIEVE

(0)
I’ve become obsessed with student inability to focus. Poor written work, lack of classroom engagement, poor behaviour and ultimately poor exam results fundamentally come down to an inability to focus. Confidence, achievement and a high sense of self worth I believe come from hard work and commitment. We teachers know this - getting students to know it is one of the holy grails. I drill this into my classes and make them follow a set format of focus and relaxing for the duration of a one hour lesson. It works! I think I may go down the meditation route, but for now I’ve produced this poster that I prominently display in every room I teach in. I have a greater sense of satisfaction and enjoyment from my lessons - try it.

This is a series of activities aimed at starting the thinking process leading up to choosing subjects to study at KS4. Activities are for students to complete individually and to discuss with the class and at home with parents. Rather than looking at specific subjects, the aim is to focus students into thinking about their interests, career ambitions, strengths & weaknesses and some essential does and don’ts.

EMAIL GUIDELINES - A strategic approach to limiting negative impact

(0)
We have developed an email culture and colleagues will typically receive upwards of 50 a day. We consider this time consuming and wasteful. It is damaging both in time and with relationships - how an email is written is often harsher than the spoken word and in its worst form leads to open hostility. Whilst acknowledging the efficiency and effectiveness of emails, this display is a 10 point set of suggestions that colleagues have welcomed - less emails to respond to, less stress and more time in constructive face to face dialogue. For display in all offices. As a constant reminder, it really has made a big difference on staff wellbeing.

AfL is part of the bread and butter of teaching and learning. There are many strategies out there that assess end of lesson learning and here are a few of the most effective. This is a display poster of those strategies and is designed to be laminated and taped onto every teacher desk to be a constant reminder of good practice. An excellent CPD tool for senior leadership and Heads of Department.

AfL is part of the bread and butter of teaching and learning. There are many strategies out there that assess learning and here are a few of the most effective based on many years of experience and watching top performers. This is a display poster of these strategies and is designed to be laminated and taped onto teacher desks to act as a constant reminder of good practice. A very effective CPD tool for senior leaders and Heads of Department
