One of the most frustrating things as a teacher is to have students ignore or forget the due dates for their task submissions. Not only does it mean they may lose marks but we have to mark their task after our marking period ends. It is important for students to understand the need to submit tasks by their due dates because it helps them understand time limits for when they get out into the big wide world and get jobs. Everyone needs to be able to work towards a deadline whether they are a shop assistant, cleaner, teacher or a CEO running a business. This poster displays the importance of knowing due dates are coming up quickly and to plan ahead for them.

This end of unit reflection sheet is the perfect tool for any student in any subject to fill in at the end of any topic or unit. It asks 4 simple questions that will assist any teacher in finding out if their students understood the content, bonded with the teaching materials, resources, methods and if they actually enjoyed learning about the topic. There’s nothing more truthful than a student telling you what they hated about your class but this way it’s done in a constructive and valuable way.
