Whether you are a student teacher, an undergraduate or a secondary student, presentations can be intimidating and panic-inducing.
First, you should know that everyone experiences nerves when giving a presentation, and it is pretty usual for inexperienced students to suffer more from anxiety.
Our top tips for student presentations will give you some ideas to ensure you are prepared and ready to deliver your best performance.
Children in the UK are graded from the time they sit their SATs at the end of Key Stage 2. From then on, they face assessments throughout Key Stage 3, followed by GCSEs and A Levels.
Whether a child faces mock exams, the real thing, or even ongoing tests in class, it can be stressful for them and their parents. All anyone can ask is for them to do their best and achieve their full potential.
Can parents help their children do better and improve their results? Let’s look at ways parents can work with their children and schools to improve their outcomes.
In this article, we will examine whether artificial intelligence has made a difference in education.
By reviewing the use of AI in the classroom, we hope to define whether it is still seen as a threat or an enhancement to teachers and teaching.
Of course, everyone has different opinions, but there is growing evidence of a pathway forward for using AI effectively. Indeed, as more schools embrace and experiment with the idea, we are constantly learning better ways to utilise this new technology.
Children are younger than ever when exposed to the internet via various devices, including mobile phones, tablets, computers and gaming consoles. As they play, watch media or interact with others online, they are vulnerable to cyberbullying, grooming, hacking, identity theft and phishing.
Internet safety and cybersecurity are vital parts of technology education, and parents and teachers should share the burden to ensure youngsters can navigate the digital world safely.
In the same way that teachers embraced new technologies like interactive whiteboards and the power of the internet back in the 2000s, educators today are finding a path to maximise the potential of generative AI.
As with anything this revolutionary, there must be a paradigm shift that re-evaluates how teaching and learning will progress.
Technology has had an enormous impact on every industry over the last decade, including education.
Teachers are now quick to embrace technology’s benefits regarding practicality, reducing workload and improving learning.
In this guide, we will explore some of the ways that technology can help teachers in the classroom.
We are all aware that some cheating occurs. Naturally, there will always be students who will try to beat the system and get better grades without completing the extra work required.
You may feel that the occasional shortcut is relatively unharmful, but cheating can lead to challenging consequences when it becomes part of a setting’s culture. Indeed, it can affect wider society as well as individual institutions.
We wondered if cheating was a significant problem and investigated the depth of the issue.
Is it possible to improve literacy levels with a knowledge-rich curriculum? For many years in the U.K., we have focussed on non-cognitive skills and steered away from general knowledge.
A recent American study into using knowledge-rich curriculums to improve literacy levels explores their effectiveness from kindergarten through to 6th grade.
The results strongly suggest that curriculum interventions can indeed reduce literacy gaps and improve outcomes in other subjects.
Let’s examine the idea of improving literacy levels with a knowledge-rich curriculum in more detail.
Computer Science is something that is heavily influenced by ever-changing technology. Keeping students engaged in this subject area is vital if they are to learn skills such as coding and programming to a sufficient standard.
In this article, we will explore some different ways to improve your computer science curriculum.
The early years in a child’s life have been acknowledged for some time by experts as vitally important to growth, learning and overall development, but it is now recognised that it also impacts mental health.
Indeed, Ofsted published some international research in June 2023 that suggests high-quality early years provision can provide extra benefits to those from low-income backgrounds.
In England, the Early Years Curriculum Framework cover children from birth to the end of their reception year at school.
Here, we will explore why the early years are important for a child’s development.
