Teacher\u2019s Handbook <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A great first step is to look through the Teacher\u2019s Handbook in the Digital Book tab.<\/a> This has some information on how to use Kerboodle, and includes key points, key vocabulary, unit outcomes, starters and plenaries for every unit in the Student Book, as well as answers to all the ‘Your Turn’ and ‘Check’ questions. It links out to any resources on Kerboodle that are available for each unit. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Digital books<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Student Book is available as a Digital Book<\/a> for teacher access, with student access available as a separate subscription. If you flick through it you\u2019ll see that there are links throughout showing you which resources are available for each unit. Students can annotate, highlight and add notes to their digital book. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Geographical skills <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Interactive assessments <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You can assign End-of-lesson tests, and End-of-chapter tests to your students<\/a> to check their knowledge.  Students complete multi-question assessments on-screen<\/a> which can either be done in class or as homework. The tests are auto-marked, with feedback for the student, and student outcome given as a percentage in the Reports tab. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Exam-style assessment papers <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There is an exam-style paper and mark scheme for each chapter.<\/a> Each is structured in a similar way to a GCSE exam paper: short point-marked questions followed by an opportunity for extended writing. These come with a reporting framework that allows you to choose how you want to give student outcomes, including a GCSE grade indicator. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Self-assessment checklists <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For every chapter in the Student Book, there\u2019s a self-assessment<\/a>, helping you to understand how confident students are feeling about a topic. Students complete these independently on-screen, and the forms are auto-marked, with the students\u2019 responses recorded in your markbook. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
