Here we have an assessment grid and posters to go with each strand. The posters are pupil friendly in language and colour coded to represent each level. I have tried to create icons for each phrase. I have tried to create an image related to each of the strands that we use to assess i.e. the planning poster is based around a flow chart and the generating ideas poster is based around a mind map. Hopefully you and enjoy these posters my pupils find them useful in self and peer assessment, we have them on display across our department.

Here are 48 plenaries I have tried to design the cards for pupils to use in order to promote student leadership in lessons. I also use them myself to promote variety in my lessons. I cut them out and laminated them in order to produce a deck of cards pupils pick out 4 cards and deliver one of those 4 activities. Although I have adapted these tasks for technology, many of them are generic and can be used in your own way across all subjects. I hope you find these useful. (Apologies for the apostrophe error I will correct this if I get time) Would be great to see how you use it, follow me on twitter: @razfromcav Enjoy

Here are 30 starter cards that I developed for pupil led starter activities, although tailored towards D&T, they can be modified for most subjects. I use these by getting a pupil to choose one at the end of a lesson, in order to deliver it for the next lesson. I also use them myself to prompt further activities/ mini plenaries in lessons. Would be great to see how you use it, follow me on twitter: @razfromcav Let me know what you think :)

So as the curriculum does not allow assessment with levels our school use key words: Foundation: e.g. L3-4 Secure: e.g L5-6 Developing: e.g. L6-7 Excellent: e.g. L8 Here I have broken down the KS3 Curriculum into the main focus areas: Design Make Evaluate Technical Knowledge Cooking and Nutrition There are posters and a modified grid available to purchase here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/ks3-assessment-poster-display-d-and-t-with-cooking-and-nutrition-11710887 This grid work best in a3 size, and should be 'printed to fit' ; in your print settings. I have used a font that is specifically designed for dyslexic children. Would be great to see how you use it, follow me on twitter: @razfromcav Enjoy

I designed these posters with prompt questions so I didn't have to repeat myself so much when talking about controlled assessment. I use these for specifications, product analysis, annotation generally across the whole design process. I have found that this has helped with literacy in pupils work. Would be great to see how you use it, follow me on twitter: @razfromcav Enjoy

Key terms found in the workshop (9 different cards)

This file is for the front of our students folders. It tells them how many credits each unit is worth, how many credits are needed for each qualification and you should be able to track progress through time using dates and the credit tally. Hope this helps. Leila

Here is a lesson about company Identity and Logos, the aim is to get students to identify the difference between good and ineffective design. This lesson includes a logo quiz and some questions based on logo design.

Illustrated safety rules poster can be used in practical lessons or put up in the classroom for general purpose. I was asked to print one off so I just made one :)

These units have been developed for a stand alone Pearson BTEC Level 1 Award in Basic Cooking Skills (QCF). The units do coinside with other BTEC qualifications, however, we use it here as a basic introduction to the kitchen, we deliver it to KS3 and Year 10 and often use the units of work to count towards their Pearson BTEC Level 1 Award in Vocational Studies (QCF). The total credits for this award are 5. This work has been internally verified by our meticulous BTEC moderator and is good to go. It is pretty simple to complete, therefore I have not included teacher guidance. I have left a space on the front for your aims as well as your school logo, I do not have an editable copy as the fonts I have used are not available on all computers, this would mess about with the layout when you print it out. (Also it saves as a much smaller file size if the font is in vector format rater than text). These are units can also be found in Pearson BTEC Level 1 Certificate in General Cookery in Hospitality (QCF) AND Pearson BTEC Level 1 Certificate in General Food and Beverage in Hospitality (QCF) : Unit 1= Unit 11 Unit 2= Unit 12 Unit 3= Unit 13 I am sure that they are in a number of other BTEC Qualifications too.

In this unit pupils are required to make a timber tray. This booklet covers all areas of assessment for unit 1.

In this unit pupils are required to make a timber frame using a mitre joint and a hinge. This booklet covers all areas of assessment for unit 14 and is worth 4 credits.

This is a baseline test that I designed for my year 7’s to give me some idea of where they are, I have included questions from each area of the national curriculum. I have not included a mark scheme however the RAG boxes at the front are there for you to mark where you think they are (below or above). Hope This helps :)

Another unit that can be used in both vocational studies and BTEC construction QCF (can count towards the level 1)

Life without levels posters, I have broken down the ares of the K33 curriculum and made each category into a poster. There is a grid which I stick into the learners books to show them where they are and what they need to do to move on. Each poster shows how the learner can get from 'Emerging' to 'Developing' to 'Secure' then to 'Master' (I did not choose these words, this is what our school is using instead of levels). As it is hard to measure from each section of the curriculum I have put the actual statement from the curriculum and watered it down backwards (I hope this makes sense!) Hope this works for you! Enjoy...

Another unit for the BTEC which can also be used for the BTEC Vocational Studies (Level 1). This unit is found in group one, it is worth 4 credits. The answers for the booklet can be found in the BTEC Specification and in the card matching activity. The card matching activity can be used for any health and safety lesson, it includes fire extinguishers, safety signs, ladder safety, hazards, statistics etc. Hope This Helps :)
