A worksheet or poster for Maths in Design Technology - good cross curricular link.

An Excel teacher planner with the 2024-2025 Term Dates on and a column per class. You may need to tweak these to fit your school and colour scheme. I use this document alongside my written planner to keep me on top of things. There is also space to add on calendar events, assessment dates and after school activities. Please leave a review :)

A sheet I created when I was a technician many years ago! Just updated to look a little more ‘snazzy’ and to include some Art words as my department is Art Design Technology merged.

Display for showcasing Careers in Design Technology. The idea is that each of the carers is part of a ‘Hive’ so you can connect them together like a hive. Salarys per year are included on each hexagon. Includes links to various sectors including food careers, engineering and construction.

Dice faces made to help those who are struggling to think of an idea or a design. These can be used for a 1 off lesson or for GCSE. I have used them for both and they work really well. Peach = Client you are designing for or target market. Pink = the genre e.g. modern, classic, retro. There is also the option to have an open ended genre ‘Inspired by…’ where the student picks the inspiration. Blue = Where or what the design is to be used for e.g. transportation, sport, arcitecture, fashion. There are 6 faces for each colour. I ordered some large foam dice from ebay, printed then laminated the faces before double sticky taping them to the outside. If you click the image you can use the menu at the top of PowerPoint to resize the image to the dimensions that you need.

Resource with Growth Mindset quotes on for table centres. Each one has a different saying on with an equipment list on the other so you can print double sided. Fully customisable with colour font etc. I have used them on my equipment pots which I place in the centre of the table. There is is a few of them so price to reflect effort and time took to produce.

Some themed mini cupcakes I drew on Illustrator to use in my form for birthdays. This and matching candles for the names. Each one is themed around an event that usually takes place in that month. For example, December is a Christmas tree and September is Back to School. **There are also some blank ones for people who want just one colour cake or rainbow. ** Resource is paid based on the amount of time it took for me to draw them individually.

Bookmarks for student reading books or planners - a nice form activity regardless of age range. One side has inspiration quotes on them, the other is blank for a name. All are set to print double sided for ease with the fonts embedded into the file. If you go onto slide master after downloading, you will be able to change the background image.

A quick sheet made for a mid-low ability Year 8 group. I made this so they can get it out each lesson to help them but also so it wasn’t me continually speaking all lesson. PDF included for speed of printing. PowerPoint included in case any edits need to be made for your students

A help sheet with space for samples of sandpaper to be stuck on. This help sheet was made with a low ability un-resilient group in mind but could be adapted to suit any. There is a side showing/explaining sandpaper. On the other side are the common excuses or reasons I get for not completing work to standard or ‘complaining’ after 5 minutes graft… There are also the tips I give to students to maximise the results when they are sanding by hand.

Some generic resources for Exercise Books or Booklets. I have used all of these at various points in my career so far and all have proved useful. Included is :- Book Labels GCSE DT course information (AQA) Practical Checklist sheet (for classes where you need to monitor their behaviour more) TAP sheet for recording assessments Written and Practical work TAP sheet

A letter more tailored for poor behaving/performing students in KS4/5. I have also used this many times and have rarely had no support from parents. Appropriate letter what ever subject, but reads as if it is from a coursework based subject.

A resource to put into IKEA Tolsby frames for children to have on their desks.It is designed to be printed and trimmed to fit the frames themselves. Originally a COVID-19 safety sign that I used in my classroom when the children returned to school. I have included my example as well as an editable format. Done on PowerPoint.

This was originally made during lockdown learning - a lot had appeared online - most made with google classroom importing images which seems to take forever. My school doesn’t use Google so I have done one using Microsoft. This is a PowerPoint with a couple of common classroom furniture items drawn out on the slides that you can use to create your virtual classroom. It is also easy to then add in your Bitmoji. My example is left on there just to show how I made my own. Please leave a review if you download.

Pot Labels that fit the IKEA Sunnersta Pots. Also included is a sign for the wall. Labels are to size so when printing, set paper to print at A3 and multiple slides to sheet so that they all print to the right size. They can be glued directly on or laminated first. Example picture included.

A letter with highlighted sections to edit to suit you. I have used this particular format many times and parents are usually supportive. I would normally try to phone the parent first but that is my personal preference.

The OCR Design Technology GCSE Mark Scheme for NEA on 1 slide. This prints one 1 sheet of paper for students to use. Quite small on A4 but readable. Fits better on A3. I’ve used a similar format before for AQA where I would highlight each bit I felt they had met. I have just switched to OCR so created a new one.
