" The one resource that I must have is
a copy of the curriculum. This guides
me in everything. A well planned
curriculum sets the platform for all
the activities and the skills we look to
provide for our students."
main resource would be
academic books as these are very
necessary for planning for the
students for the year."

" The most crucial resource I need is the
progress and attainment data along with
anecdotal records on my new students,
in order to plan my lessons to meet their
needs. Without these, my lessons would
be chance shots in the dark!"

" I would say refresher CPDs, training
to constantly ensure quality of
instruction. The key to education is
teaching and learning which can
only be effective when the right
skills meet the needs of the students.
Without skills we will merely be
working to complete the textbook."

new academic year has just
started and no matter how prepared
we are, the inevitable happens!
We are never prepared enough.
Effective planning is key. The strategy
is the approach and innovation is
the password. We can have all the
resources in the world but if we do not
have a team to deliver them, what
use are they? Begin with the right
mind set and the rest will follow."
Class Time
" Padlet is a fantastic resource for team
or whole class collaboration at the
beginning of the year. It requires no signup or log-in details for the students and
it offers a virtual whiteboard on which
students and teachers can share ideas,
questions, pictures, videos or whole
websites. By projecting the Padlet onto
my interactive whiteboard throughout
the course of the activity, the class can
see real-time progression and we’re given
a focal point for either group or classwide discussion and reflection at the end
of the activity. "
