Assessment without levels resources

Assessment without levels resources

(0)
This includes an Assessment without levels grid (student version and staff version) and a feedback sheet. The statements are all coded to reduce workload when providing feedback to students. The statements are also matched to SOLO taxonomy, new GCSE grades and old KS3 levels. The statements are generic rather than explicit which allows for fewer statements.
Seven steps to Science success

Seven steps to Science success

(0)
Includes 2 different versions of 7 steps. These can be used as poster displays and/or into students' exercise books. Allows for explicit reference when challenging students abut their behaviours and efforts.
Blank quiz quiz trade cards

Blank quiz quiz trade cards

(0)
These are blank quiz quiz trade cards. They are best printed back to back. Students can be given these to write their own questions with answers - on the reverse they have to be able to justify their question; e.g. choice of topic, level of difficulty etc.

Purple spelling bee

This is a scaffold that can be stuck into students' books. Whenever they have a spelling mistake that needs correcting it can then be written into the appropriate box. I always provide the correct version in purple ink - hence the purple spelling bee!
Glossary defintion markbook

Glossary defintion markbook

(0)
This spread sheet is to be used in conjunction with glossary definition templates. It can be used to record students' progress as they learn key definitions for any subject at any Key stage. It allows for easy analysis of individual students and also identifies patterns with particular key words. I have used this successfully to help monitor and improve students' retention and spellings of key words and their definitions. The information produced has also allowed for timely intervention.
STAR chart - KS4 Biology Section 1 - Cells & organisation

STAR chart - KS4 Biology Section 1 - Cells & organisation

(0)
These are A3 posters for classroom display - this one contains all the key words for AQA KS4 Biology (2016 onwards) section 1 (Cells and organisation). It consists of 13 pages with around 30 words per page. They are deliberately not in alphabetical order to assist with retention strategies. These contain more words than the glossaries alone.
Curriculum design for the linear course

Curriculum design for the linear course

(1)
This is primarily aimed at secondary schools but may also be of use in any sector. It is a presentation about how to design a basic layout for a linear tested curriculum based on current understanding and theory around memory and retention. Considers B.I.T.S approach; namely Bulking (my own phrase), Interleaving, Testing and Spacing. This would be beneficial for anyone who is writing or designing a scheme - be it a full year or even a termly scheme. Results with our KS3 science have improved significantly since introducing this interleaved approach.
Presentation on Challenge in the classroom

Presentation on Challenge in the classroom

(1)
PowerPoint to support presentation on Challenge in the secondary school classroom. Includes references to SOLO taxonomy and Socratic questioning. Great resource to support ITTs, NQTs and RQTs who are looking for suggestions on how to improve the level of challenge within their classroom.
First Aid (learner) resources

First Aid (learner) resources

(0)
This is an alternative to an enable table. These are resources that I use within my classroom. My First aid cupboard is where I store resources such as text books etc. The first aid badges (which I laminate and have in lanyards) are used with students who complete their work and then support others in the class. The certificates are used to encourage the First aiders to reflect on their learning (and recognise their great efforts). As usual feedback is welcome.
OHM work (online homework monitoring)

OHM work (online homework monitoring)

(5)
These are best printed 2 per side and double sided - to give A5 size sheets. These are for giving students when they have online (self marked) pieces of homework. Often there is no evidence of these other than a simple percentage. These sheets provide students with an opportunity to evaluate their progress and also for parents to write a comment. I would perhaps use these 2 or 3 times a half term (rather than every piece of homework). These can be adapted for other online homeworks or KS4. As usual any feedback is welcome.
HORSE - HOmework Review and Self Evaluation

HORSE - HOmework Review and Self Evaluation

(0)
These are best printed 4 to a page and back to back. You then get 2 sided A6 size sheets with teacher feedback on one side and student response (MRI=my response is) on the other side. I use these when student's work needs assessing but it would be difficult to write comments directly onto their work, e.g emailed presentations, models, verbal presentations or hard copies that would be spoiled with comments being written on them. If printed correctly then they can be stuck into students books or files and can flip up to reveal student's responses. As usual please give me any feedback, suggested improvements or just simply how you have used these.
BAA 2 - the return!

BAA 2 - the return!

(0)
This is the improved version of the BAA sheets (Book analysis and assessment). These are best printed 4 per page so each resource is then a half page of A4. These can easily be adapted to allow the students themselves to self assess their own work. Generally these are done once per half term - any more than that would be marking madness! As usual any feedback would be welcome along with what use you have been able to make of them.
