How well does it match the curriculum?

Brilliantly: There is more content (eg support / extension activities) than we expected

Great topical ideas for a busy teacher

 

How well does it support adaptation for different groups of pupils?

Brilliantly: There is a wide enough range of resources to provide a good range of options for all pupils

I have used a couple of videos when covering classes

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

Brilliantly: Pupils love using and are excited when they know they are going to do so

something new, like video format

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

Reasonably: There is some formative assessment included, but its usefulness is a bit limited

I'm afraid I don't really know

 

How well does it support planning?

Reasonably: Mostly we can use it without an unreasonable amount of effort or additional resource requirement

Seems to complement other teaching well

 

How well does it support home use / independent learning?

Well: Pupils could be expected to use this at home or independently, with a minimum amount of support or additional resources

 

How would you rate it for value for money compared to similar resources?

Reasonably: It represents about the same value for money as similar resources I’ve seen

I don't know

 

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 11/11
