What do teachers say about this resource? (10860)

Very thorough and covers all the assessment criteria for Unit R021. The questions within the case studies are clearly appropriate to enable diverse abilities of learners to demonstrate the knowledge and understanding needed so that they have a foundation to build their knowledge and further understanding on. I am impressed... it is clear and straight forward to follow and enables the teacher to check that students have understood the content. Questions and the variety of activities are well structured and evenly distributed with good suggested responses provided. There is an ample range of activities, to allow learners to stretch and challenge and allows all levels of ability to be involved. You don’t always see this in resources. I cannot think of ways that I might attempt to improve this invaluable resource. In my opinion it is fit for purpose and any teacher will find it very useful during classroom based learning. Invaluable to gauge student learning and is a ‘must’ for any teacher to have on their bookcase or on show in the classroom. It will save teachers a lot of time having to plan and still enable them to deliver challenging and interactive lessons.
