What do teachers say about this resource? (9459)
This is a very exciting resource, perfect for revision. I have taught this unit, and its previous incarnations and this resource made me smile. The liveliness and presentation was excellent, just enough colour, allowing students to highlight etc. or not, as they wish.
I like the definitions included in the sheets and that they are A3. This will be invaluable for students to complete for homework or in lessons, it's also a good way for students to see how they can arrange information for revision for themselves. The size of the resource is perfect, can be used as a template to encourage students to further their revision by creating their own. It is such a good summary of what is needed for the exam. Layout is great, very clear, allowing students to see all the information and links there may be with other sections.
I like the consistent font and the use of bold type. The boxes of additional information work well and everything is clearly presented.
This is accessible, and can be adapted to allow students who might be overwhelmed with information to be given it piece by piece. The resource links directly to the spec and from my analysis of exam papers gives all the information required for a good exam grade.
Good quality with clear information that covers all the unit. It has 2 differentiated sheets, plus the complete one. You can build knowledge throughout the course using the differentiated sheets or use for HA and LA. Great for Revision as there is a ‘topic on a page’. The information is very easy for the students to see clearly and a dozen pages covers the whole unit. ZigZag resources can be trusted and are reliable, good quality and student friendly.
It is organised into bitesize chunks, which is great at the end of a topic or unit as a good visual reminder and easy for the learner to use as scaffolding. The resource is student friendly, and shows lots of information that is linked to the spec, despite the limited space for each of the posters. There are lots of applied examples to key theories and the content is easy to understand and therefore serves as a good revision tool.
The diagrammatic representations and explanations of topics, such as developmental milestones at different life stages, different care services etc. add immense value to this resource. These will help the learners to grasp the idea of the topics being covered more easily and they will be able to retain the information for longer. The author has used relevant, clear and coherent written communication using language appropriate to both a professional and academic audience.
A good basic resource ... will help students recall and revise simple content, which will allow more time for teachers to use this knowledge to improve exam technique. Simplified content that is easy for students to access. Great explanations of topics, such as Nature vs Nurture.
What do teachers say about this resource? (9962)
A high-quality resource that I could see teachers using in a variety of ways. Each topic page could be used as a visual display... as an end of topic summary... at the beginning of a topic and act as a visual advance organiser about the areas that will be forthcoming... [or] if learners are absent, or wish to reduce a condensed version of the unit content, then this resource ticks these boxes too. The layout and presentation of the topic pages are attractive and would grab the interest of a ‘typical’ level 3 learner. It provides a broad overview of the key content for each learning aim and this information is accurate and well-presented. Each page includes key vocabulary with clear definitions and engaging images and graphics. Currently, there is no published resource that addresses Unit 2 content in this format so it’s very welcome.
An excellent resource showing a deep understanding of Working in Health and Social Care. I like the way the specification has been displayed at the beginning and highlights where there is full coverage and not. Many less experienced teachers in this subject area will find this resource a God send in my opinion as will the learners. The use of diagrams and pictures always enhance a resource. Excellent structure of the key elements of the specification. This is an extremely good resource for both teachers and learners. It will certainly give teachers the high level of confidence that what they are teaching can be assessed with a lot of confidence. It gives learners good practice for the exam enabling stretch and challenge and blended learning to be imbedded. I think this resource is well worth buying. I think it would save teachers a lot of time interpreting the specification and understanding how to get learners to independently apply the specification This resource will be invaluable for the less experienced teachers who may struggle with this. This is a really useful resource and is well worth purchasing in my opinion. I would definitely recommend this resource to Health and Social Care teachers who are delivering Unit 2 – Working in Health and Social Care.
A very useful resource for revision. There are a number of different ways these can be used in lessons... as part of a lesson for teaching the topic or as a revision guide. It shows the exact amount of content that needs to be learned in order to pass the exam... not too much information on each page and it Is easily linked to the specification. This is the first year I have started using Zig Zag resources and have found them to be a useful tool to add to my teachers toolkit. They are quite versatile and having the topic on the page is so useful for students to remember.
This resource effectively outlines all topics of the unit. It can be used as a fantastic revision tool for students, but can also be used as a guide to allow students to create their own revision sheets and be guided to include all the necessary topics. I really liked that it clearly outlined the different roles and responsibilities for each professional but it also made it very clear what the differences are between a role and a responsibility which is something students have found difficult to understand in the past. The language used throughout is accessible and standardised with the specification so students can become familiar with using health and social care terminology in preparation for their exam. Easy to read and it is not overcrowded. This resource has multiple uses and is highly accessible to all students. A fabulous resource that will reduce teacher workload and is accessible for all students.
