What do teachers say about this resource? (9289)
Visual and engaging. Useful for teachers and students alike. It provides teachers with a resource that will be beneficial within the classroom and for planning, but would take a lot of time to create, and often would not be created. I particularly like the fact the resource provides students with written instructions for carrying out a skill, rather than simply listing the core skills they require. This will be useful for students who work more effectively with written instructions rather the listening to a teacher. I also like the fact it is coupled with practice tasks that can be used within the classroom or students can practice at home. The activities may also be beneficial during remote learning as they are practicals that do not require many ingredients. I have found the extra tip section useful also. I feel that it provides students with a practical opportunity within lessons. It will allow students to have some guidance when picking their skills for their NEA as they can see themselves which will be more complex and thus, gain higher marks.
I like it as it broke down and explained each skill in-depth and offered alternatives. This would help students build an overall picture of their skill level as we go along and be able to identify what dishes are at what level as they are working. This would be useful for observations when SLT are discussing progress with students. I liked the layout and it was clear and easy to read. This covered all of the skills on the spec and made it easy to identify their skill level. Once students get to complete NEA2 it would stop them continually asking "what skill level is this?". A non-specialist would find this useful
