What do teachers say about this resource? (5694)

This resource provides some good examples of what the question paper might look like. It also provides a structured approach to answer the question with a series of lesson of what you might teach in order to proved a well-structured answer. I liked the fact that is was extremely thorough and provided detailed lesson plans and all the resources you would need in one place. There was nothing you needed to do to access any of the other resources. I would certainly use this resource when l am teaching this unit. It gives my lesson by lesson break down of what to do and also it provided all the resources to run the lesson. I particularly liked the examples of the completed forms to show students what a good one looked like. A very thorough approach to this unit which appears to cover every angle and provide not only good planning and activities but also good examples of completed work

Very thorough and well-resourced. Particularly good for anyone new to teaching or to this course. I particularly liked the resources on skills with accompanying exercises. I have long felt this was an unclear area of the BTEC requirements and this material would help me

A very thorough and detailed document with much advice and support throughout relating to the specific subject area in addition to clear assessment criteria... I would be happy to use this resource with a class I was teaching
