A variety of exit passes that can be used in a multitude of situations.
Best printed 4 per page of A4. Useful for student self assessment and also provide quick feedback for the teacher. Great for evidence for work scrutinies / lesson observations.
I have found having a selection of various exit passes preprinted means I always have the right one at the right time!
This contains all the GCSE glossaries for Biology Chemistry and Physics in English, Arabic, Persian and Portuguese. Quiz quiz trade cards to match the English versions are also thrown in.
This is a scaffold for students to make notes about any particular topic. Works well if the initial ideas section is first completed before being taught. The remaining sections are then filled in during and/or after they have been taught the topic.
I have used this with Y7 through to Y13 primarily with science, however, it could be used with any subject and any age range.
This is a scaffold I designed for using with students to encourage them to make notes that they can then use to teach another student (or small group of students). They then get feedback from their peer before repeating the process finally being reviewed by the last student they teach. I use this to great success with Y7 through to Y13 for the teaching of science. It could however be used with any subject and any age range.
12 A3 (or smaller!) posters containing all the Biology KS4 glossary words. Work well in conjunction with Glossaries, Quick quizzes and Quiz quiz trade cards.
This is a resource to demonstrate progress. It can be used with any subject material. Students should be given the opportunity to attempt the F.A.I.L. (first attempt in learning) before they are introduced to a topic or concept. Once the learning has taken place they can then complete the S.A.I.L. (second attempt in learning). These can then be assessed and feedback provided. Students can then be encouraged to identify their strengths, weaknesses and next steps.
12 A3 (or smaller!) posters containing all the Physics KS4 glossary words. Work well in conjunction with Glossaries, Quick quizzes and Quiz quiz trade cards.
12 A3 (or smaller!) posters containing all the Chemistry KS4 glossary words. Work well in conjunction with Glossaries, Quick quizzes and Quiz quiz trade cards.
Contains all the Glossary words for GCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics as A3 display posters. Work well in conjunction with Quiz quiz trade cards, SOLO hexagons and quick quizzes.
Contains full GSCE AQA glossaries. Also includes quick quizzes, quiz quiz trade cards, display posters and much more - all these resources are cross matched and numbered so they can be used in conjuntion with each other. Materials are for Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Includes both trilogy and separate science materials - Separate materials are indicated on each resource to allow students to access the relevant course information.
This is a modified version of a note taking scaffold based around the Cornell model. Students should initially complete the title and objectives. They should then add processed information into the main notes section - this can be in the form of prose, bullet points or even mind maps. Simultaneously they should add key terminology and most importantly fill in the left hand column. This is a reflective section, basically is a record of their inner voice. After the note taking is complete then students should write a short summary (3-4 sentences) and then do the M.I.P. M.I.P. stands for most important point - this should be no more than 3 words (ideally 1).
This scaffold can be used with any subject, any age and for any form of input; e.g. video, teacher talk, written information, Internet research.
Contains all the key words and definitions for the whole AQA AS Biology course.
Best used in conjunction with Quick quiz sheets and definition sheets.
Also supported by Quiz quiz trade cards.
All words are numbered on both the Quiz quiz trade cards and the glossaries themselves.
Glossary also contains suggested SOLO linked revision strategies.
Quick quiz sheet also incudes marking system so students can analyse their results to a greater depth.
Students have found this resource and the others suggested invaluable in supporting their long term retention of key information.
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.
Review - Analysis - Progress
These are used as a structured revision homework for students.
They are written for the new Physics (examined from 2018) AQA scheme.
Material aimed only for Separate science is indicated.
I have used these to great effect in order to ensure students use more focussed revision.

This contains all the glossaries for the AQA A-level Biology Scheme. All words and definitions are numbered.
These can be used in conjunction with the following resources…
Quick quiz templates
Definition templates
SOLO hexagons
Quiz quiz trade cards
The same numbering system is used for the hexagons and quiz quiz trade cards.
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.
