> Follow a ready-made scheme of work. Detailing the rationale for each unit, key terms, assessment opportunities and links to prior and future learning, the Course Plan provides invaluable day-to-day support for class teachers and provides SLT (and Ofsted) with evidence of a coherent, knowledge-rich and effective KS3 curriculum. With the drag-and-drop course planner tool, you can easily re-order and add to our resources too.
> Bring the book to life. 120 lesson PowerPoints combine visual sources, interpretations and extracts from the Student Book with lesson outcomes, activities and quizzes (answers provided).
> Pick up and teach the course with ease. Every double-page spread in the Student Book is accompanied by a lesson plan with learning outcomes, ideas for differentiation, a lesson starter, activities and a plenary that includes a low-stakes knowledge test and a review activity to check deeper learning.
> Make the course content accessible for all abilities. Worksheets that differentiate the Student Book activities provide extra support for pupils with lower prior attainment.
