This is a teacher-training resource comprising 47 slides that I compiled for refreshing teachers on the essentials of teaching and learning. It covers all of the basics, and is designed to be delivered as a one-day workshop. This could be adapted to cover a series of INSET sessions or PD twilights, too. Topics covered include: Lesson planning Active Engagement Cognitive Load Theory Learning games Use of feedback tools like Word Clouds Spatial Learning Curriculum Mapping Please note: You will need to read through these slides and check them before delivery, as they will need to be tailored to your organisation. The slides also link to some interactive quizzes I’ve created especially for this workshop at Blooket, Quizlet, Quizziz and so on. These should all be publicly available and working correctly. I’ve also included some Nearpod slides as a bonus - I recommend that you upload these to Nearpod and create your own lesson in their for that section of the workshop (this won’t take long, and you can use the free version of Nearpod).

These slides cover the basics of Dual Coding, which is the process of combining verbal and visual information to improve learning. The idea is simple: when students are presented with both words and images that complement each other, they are more likely to understand and remember the material. This approach taps into the brain’s ability to process visual and verbal information through separate channels, creating a more robust memory trace. This is a great resource to use for a short teacher-training session, such as a PD session or INSET slot.

For schools that are forward-thinking enough to try an Agile approach to project management, these slides are your haven for any teacher-training you wish to do on the matter. As a Certified ScrumMaster® (CSM®) and project management trainer, I created these slides to form the basis of my popular workshops on Agile, which I run for big organisations all over the world. Please feel free to Google my name to check my credentials: Richard James Rogers. This resource contains ten PowerPoint files, designed to be delivered in sequence (they are numbered for easy reference). They are fully editable. At most, you will need to edit the ‘About Me’ slide in the first presentation and, maybe, the titles (slightly) for the others. Topics covered are as follows: Overview of Agile principles and values Differences between Agile and traditional project management methodologies Benefits of adopting Agile Scrum: roles, events, and artifacts Kanban: principles and practices Lean: principles and tools Brief comparison of other Agile methodologies (e.g., XP, FDD) Scrum Master Product Owner Development Team Stakeholders Scaling Agile roles (e.g., SAFe, LeSS) Product Backlog and User Stories Sprint Planning and Sprint Backlog Estimation techniques (e.g., Planning Poker, T-shirt sizing) Definition of Done (DoD) Daily Stand-ups Sprint Review Sprint Retrospective Backlog Refinement Introduction to popular Agile tools (e.g., Jira, Trello, Asana) Demonstration of key features of Agile tools Best practices for tool usage Key performance indicators (KPIs) in Agile Burndown and Burnup charts Velocity tracking Continuous improvement through metrics Case studies and real-world examples Group activity: Simulated Agile project

This beautifully designed PowerPoint presentation is based on the popular blog post “The Importance of Patience in Teaching” by award-winning educator Richard James Rogers. Perfect for INSET days and CPD sessions, this resource explores how patience plays a crucial role in successful teaching practices—supporting not only students, but also fellow staff and the teachers themselves.

What’s included: Slides, worksheet and answers This PowerPoint, worksheet and answer key are perfect for teaching your KS3 students all about operations with integers and decimals. I have designed these resources to pair perfectly with the Kangaroo Maths system, but they will apply to other systems too. Key learning points covered include: Multiply a positive integer by a power of 10 Multiply a decimal by a power of 10 Divide a positive integer by a power of 10 Divide a decimal by a power of 10 Add numbers up to six-digits using a formal written method Add decimals with the same, and different, number of decimal places Subtract numbers up to six-digits using a formal written method Subtract decimals with the same, and different, number of decimal places Multiply a number up to four-digits by a one or two-digit number using a formal written method Transform a multiplication involving decimals to a corresponding multiplication with integers Multiply a large integer up to four-digits by a decimal of up to 2dp using integer multiplication Divide a number up to four-digits by a one or two-digit number using a formal written method Use a formal method to divide a decimal by an integer < 10 Use a formal method to divide a decimal by an integer greater than 10 Transform a calculation involving the division of decimals to an equivalent division involving integers Apply the order of operations to multi-step calculations involving up to four operations and brackets

This PowerPoint, worksheet and answer key are perfect for teaching your KS3 students all about numbers and the number system. I have designed these resources to pair perfectly with the Kangaroo Maths system, but they will apply to other systems too. Key learning points covered include: Find prime numbers and test numbers to see if they are prime Find common factors of numbers Find the highest common factor of numbers in simple cases, including co-prime examples Find common multiples of numbers Recognise and solve problems involving the lowest common multiple Use linear (arithmetic) number patterns to solve problems Recognise and use triangular numbers Recognise and use square and cube numbers Read, write and evaluate powers Define and find square roots (including using the √ symbol) Define and find cube roots (including using the ∛ symbol), including the use of a scientific calculator Define and find other roots (including using the √ symbol), including the use of a scientific calculator This is a full lesson comprising beautiful slides, a worksheet and an answer key.
