Young people often forget that what they need to know in one subject is the same assessment criteria in another.
So I asked the inspirational Sarah H to explain using the ASSESSMENT CRITERIA in English to explain how it works in BUSINESS at GCSE
Thank you Sarah. Can I now share this with the 300 GCSE Business students we have in KS4?
Mr T
As a classroom teacher of GCSE & BTEC L3 courses, I always have to create an opportunity to work with a KS3 students, be it by creating a Christmas Market, Enterprise day or other `market place' linked to a Young Enterprise or Tycoon in School, competition, but I always enjoy it when I do.
Today was no different, but I was lucky enough to work with three business owners who had twenty minutes each to tell their stories of their journey from school to running their own business and who doesn’t love a great story. The three videos below were unscripted. Michelle had only jumped of the plane the previous evening and Nick had some pressing strategic issues to deal with that day, but they are all masterclasses on inspiring young people to stop, reflect and find a better version of themselves so that they can make better use of their time and create even more opportunities for themselves if and when they do.
So it was great to observe three life-times of experiences being shared with a small class of Year 9, 14 year old learners.
Dear all
the link below will take you to some short video clips. The videos do not last much more than 5 mins and are great at refreshing you on topics that you may not feel secure on.
Let me know if you like them or if you need other resources that you think may help too, so click here and get stuck in.
Feel free to make notes or bring questions to your classes once you have watched them,
Enjoy

There is no getting away from the fact that hard work and effort produces the results and this will always be the case. GCSE exams require exam technique skills and sound subject knowledge and the only way to develop both is to think of strategies that support and underpin both.
Finding a way to recap a topic that suits you is key. If your a visual and or auditory learner that might be listening to a podcast or YouTube video and I have a link of suggestions below.
Testing your subject knowledge is best done with past paper exam questions and then looking at the mark scheme to see how you got on. That way tends to be the best way to embed the exam technique as well as remind you of stuff you didn't know or maybe forgot. Seneca Learning can also provide this in a lesser degree and is quicker at providing instant feedback and hitting you with similar questions until you get them right.
I have attached a PowerPoint here of exam-specific activities that we have discussed in the parent consultation evening so that will be time well spent looking at the demands of the different questions and the importance of including CONTEXT in your answers.
Anyway here is a link of resources that are free:
