You’ve probably come across this situation many times before – a student who has all the potential to do well in their GCSE maths yet performs badly in their final exam…

The main reason why this occurs is they don’t follow an effective revision strategy at home. Students tend to revise on auto-pilot without critically analysing what they’re doing and whether or not, it’s making progress.

Zakkiyah from London was a prime example of one of these students…

“I seemed to underperform in my mock exams – achieving D’s/E’s and I couldn’t work out why… but after following Jeevan’s revision principles, I could see exactly where I was going wrong… I achieved a ‘B’ grade in my final GCSE maths exam… These revision principles have helped me immensely with my A-Level Chemistry too… Thank you so much Jeevan… my ‘B’ grade will definitely help me in applying for a ‘Pharmacy’ course at University…”

As you can see, my revision principles are crucial when taking a maths exam. It allows a student to reach their full potential.

What’s a simple and effective way to reduce classroom disruption at the start of lessons and increase time spent in teaching and learning?

I’ve known Ed for many years. He’s been a supply teacher, head of dep’t,

Head of year and head of sixth form. Vastly experienced and with a bit of a reputation as a “hard man” when it comes to classroom discipline.

He likes his job, but if there’s one thing he gets fed up with, it’s students who don’t bring the right equipment to school. He reckons this can sometimes waste up to ten minutes of teaching and learning time at the start of a lesson.

So what can be done to reduce the disruption caused by pupils who turn up to lessons without the proper equipment? Is there a way to reduce the time wasted in such situations?

The “Student Essentials set” is a ready-made solution to the problem of pupils who turn up without the right kit for lessons….. as well as being ideal to hand out (or sell!) to students at the start of a school day or at the beginning of lessons.

Consisting of three quality black ink ballpens, two full length HB pencils, a metal sharpener, eraser and 15 cm ruler, all packed in a handy, “exam friendly” clear PVC zip up wallet from just 75p each ex vat. It’s a quick and easy way to provide students with all they need for most lessons.

“Student Essentials sets” can be a means of ensuring that lessons will be less of a hassle and more productive in the future than they may have been in the past.

Student Essentials sets can be obtained from:- Signpost Educational Ltd., (signpost@talk21.com)

You can see the sets on their website (www.signposteducational.co.uk) or call them for a chat on 020 7515 1797 to discuss your requirements.

PS. Student Essentials sets can also be used as pupil incentives or for distribution at parents evenings or at the start of a new term.

PPS. The clear PVC wallets are “exam friendly” and are handy for giving to students before GCSE and other exams.
