GCSE Exam Support

18/2/2017

0 Comments

 
At this time of year, when GCSE students are taking on the preparatory period of the exam unit, it can be difficult to find the balance between providing structure for multiple themes while not being too prescriptive with ideas and suggestions. I'm also mindful that in the current climate, with increased pressures all round, there is a danger that students fall into a habit of wanting to be told what to do, rather than learning important lessons of persistence, problem solving, knowing how to get themselves up and running independently, and so on.

I recently shared a couple of resources on devnicely.co.uk for my Year 11 students, but thought it might be useful to put them here too. The first is a check list, offering a structure (of sorts), but hopefully still encouraging students to think for themselves:

In addition to this I also dusted off this previous resource, which still seems to hold up - a flowchart to help students along the way (which I think Jon and I may have developed together a couple of years back - can't actually remember now!):

Anyhow, hope these might prove useful. If you have alternative approaches/resources we'd love to hear from you.
