What do teachers say about this resource? (13032, 13033, 13034, 13035, 13036, 13037, 13038)
I think this is a good resource linking to the topic of equality and diversity, with lots of examples of ways to deliver this for teachers. A great tool to help cover such a vast topic. I like the use of case studies and how current it is, its use of tables and the symbols within the work and reminders that will help the student in their learning. The use of clear information and then the linked applied activity I think is great in embedding the student's understanding of equality and diversity. I like the review questions at the end of each section as a good way to consolidate. The breadth of this resource can help any teacher ensure that they delivering the topic. The use of questions, case studies, and research are good tools to help any teacher deliver. I like the detail in the guidance for the teacher in the revision questions great to help any teacher in ensuring they are covering what might be within the exam. The detail included in this resource and the guidance it gives teachers it will help any teacher who is delivering a T level. It links to legislation well as well as practice and what is current today so it links very well to the specification of equality and diversity. An excellent resource.
An excellent resource which students and teachers will love. Lots of good materials that could support both teacher and student with the subject. I liked the layout with the use of images such as the keys and puzzles which will help to extract the key points, I liked the link to the placement and the recapping of questions at the end. This a resource that is useful to help deliver such a large subject, parts can be taken out to help both student and teacher and ensure learning has taken place. I liked the layout and variety of layouts the use of boxes, images and visual cues helps to support learning. It has covered a lot of knowledge but in a way that can be broken down. I feel the resource is blended well embedding a variety of teaching and learning methods. Some sound stretch and challenge activities to deepen learning and understanding.
Comprehensive and well-organised. It offers detailed content that builds on the specifications and core textbook material, which is especially beneficial for the classroom teacher. I appreciated the inclusion of a marking scheme with descriptors for the 12-mark questions, as it aligns well with the exam format. I particularly liked that the answers to the revision questions are placed after the questions, rather than beside them or at the bottom of the page. I appreciate the inclusion of case studies and high-profile cases, as they provide valuable context and a deeper understanding of the reasons behind the Children Act 2004. The resource clearly defines what constitutes a 'child in need,' making the concept more accessible for students. There are many research tasks included. The content aligns well with the specification, making it more accessible. I also appreciate that the QWC (Quality of Written Communication) marks are included, mirroring the qualification’s marking schemes. The resource provides solid coverage of Element 3 when cross-referenced with the specification. I would definitely encourage my students to purchase this resource as it would be valuable for revision and complement the delivery of this element.
Overall, I found this resource to be excellent. It offers comprehensive coverage of Element 1 and fulfills its purpose effectively. The Course Companion does exactly what it sets out to do: it equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the assessment for this unit.
This resource enhances learning by providing clear links to the four core skills and the General Competencies. This is especially useful for mapping purposes, ensuring that sufficient content in English, maths, and digital skills is both delivered and supported.
I think the companion is especially effective due to its layout, which mirrors the order of the specification. This approach makes it easier for students to revise the content for each element in a cohesive and structured way.
I really like the consistency of the revision questions at the end of each section. Students will become familiar with them and be able to anticipate the format, making them a great tool for assessment.
