The principles of self-regulated learning can be applied to student behaviour: this set of ten (colour & double-sided) printable worksheets fosters student reflection during detentions and other behavioural interventions.
They’re ideal for:
Detentions resulting from disruptive classroom conduct
Students who have been sent to members of the leadership team for supervision
Behavioural interventions with students who have persistent issues with behaviour
Each worksheet includes a variety of reflection tasks and concludes with a space allowing for targets for improvements to be set by the student and reviewed by the teacher or supervisor in charge of their behavioural intervention.
Note: we have included both US & UK English spelling versions in this download due to the number of times the word ‘Behaviour’/‘Behavior’ is used! We hope this will be useful for our nternational customers, members and supporters.

In the next section It then provides arguments for and against each point and, where appropriate, summarises arguments using premises and conclusions.
The file is a .doc Word file, 140 pages in length, 72000 words.
It is designed to be a comprehensive reader for AQA Philosophy students.

Note: it does not cover the Applied Ethics section which, if this resource succeeds, will be covered in a later volume.
This bundle contains 20 model-answers for 15-mark rubrics in the new GCSE Sociology course (WJEC/EDUQAS specification).

A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)
KS3 RE Units
This printable workbook is suitable for homework, classwork or distance learning: it will help your students to get more from watching documentaries and videos. This colourful printable booklet includes ten learning sessions spread over twenty pages. You could also just print a couple of pages from this workbook to create a worksheet for an instant video-learning lesson: ideal for cover lessons!
This teaching resource is designed for GCSE Business Studies and deals with a broad range of topics. The workbook is suitable for all exam specifications.
The workbook includes links to ten different documentaries or lengthily videos and straight-forward note-taking and comprehension activities so as to structure and foster engagement with the documentary whilst enhancing student learning.
The twenty-page workbook was designed with homework in mind and contains ten different homework sessions. I would suggest using the booklets as a simple way to take care of ‘every other homework’ and use it to supplement your other approaches to homework: just print the booklets out and give them to your students. You can also use the booklets just as well in a classroom setting and they are incredibly easy to use such that even a non-specialist cover-teacher could make use of them. They’re also an ideal way to bolster your distance learning provisions in times of student absence.
Over time some of the links in this workbook may expire, I’ll try to update them from time to time but the workbook is easy to edit - so make sure you check that the links still work before printing and update any broken/defunct links that might crop-up! I’ve done my best to include links to the best videos available for this topic: teachers should ensure that the video links included are suitable for their specific classes.

A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)
KS3 RE Units
Copyright Adam Godwin (2018)
This resource is designed for the new AQA Philosophy Specification (7171) [AS-Level]
It covers the ‘Applied Ethics’ component of the course.
The course is structured as follows:
Lesson 1: General debates and discussions about the ethical issues listed in the specification
Lesson 2: Applying the normative theories to these issues (generally)
Lesson 3-6: Student led presentations (instructions and worksheets included)
Lesson 7: 'Ask the Experts’
Lesson 8: Debates & discussions about applying the normative theories to the ethical issues
Lesson 9: Formal Debates I
Lesson 10: Formal Debates II
Lesson 11: Essay planning masterclass
The download is a .zip file containing 8 PPTs and 10 worksheets (all editable) and an instructional guide outlining how the course should be delivered (a simple SoW/guide to the lessons). The .zip file maintains the order of the files so that very little preparation or planning is necessary.
The course is very much student-led; encouraging independent research skills and engagement with the issues.
It is designed to be used, ideally, after teaching of normative/meta-ethical theories has been completed so that students can apply their knowledge to the issues listed in the specification.
Presentation and resources have been designed to the highest level of professionalism. As always, I am taking requests for making new resources: just email me at godwin86@gmail.com and follow me to stay updated about further releases.
If you teach AQA Philosophy, you should join the Facebook group: “Philosophy Teachers UK (AQA A-Level)” which is the largest philosophy teachers group in the UK, there you can benefit from free resource sharing, advice from other teachers, as well as hearing about the latest premium releases.
The topic of this revision session is: ‘The significance of educational policies, including policies of selection, marketisation and privatisation, and policies to achieve greater equality of opportunity or outcome, for an understanding of the structure, role, impact and experience of and access to education; the impact of globalisation on educational policy’.
It is designed for teachers using the new AQA Sociology specification at KS5. Save significant amounts of money by buying these revision sessions in bundles!
This download contains one of a series of revision sessions that use a variety of mind-mapping, discussion and debate tasks to cover a section of the specification. It includes a fully animated revision session PowerPoint and a set of ‘silent debate’ A3 worksheets [which are a great way to structure group discussions and practice exam planning technique].
This revision session features:
-A ‘grid of learning’ post-it task (to focus students on the day’s topic and refresh their memories of the basics)
-A 'competitive mind-mapping task (which can be completed on the whiteboard or on A3 paper)
-A silent debate task (with 6 x A3 silent debate worksheets in an editable .doc file) [nb. allowing group conversation, instead of silence, is also an effective approach]
-Debates that ask students to move from one side of the room or the other and verbalise a defence of their position in response to a statement or rubric.
-A concluding ‘One thing I am still uncertain about…’ post-it question.
The revision sessions can be used in a number of ways:
-As revision sessions during a revision period of term-time leading up to exams
-Sandwiched between lessons as they are taught throughout the year as a way of solidifying and assessing learning
This session can be purchased individually or as part of various bundles depending on your needs.
Please note: the cover picture depicts some of the activities that make up this revision session, the wording within those tasks is adapted to the topic specified above and may differ from the wording depicted. Contents and tasks may vary slightly between revision sessions. The cover photo is, however, a fair depiction of the contents of the lesson.
