Homework, Grade & Project Tracker Book: The Essential Guide for Students Aged 5-11
Navigating the pivotal academic years between ages 5 to 11 can be a transformative journey for every child. Equipping them with the right tools not only helps in their academic pursuits but also fosters essential life skills. Here are compelling reasons why this comprehensive Homework, Grade & Project Tracker Book is an indispensable tool for students in this age group:
-
Foundation for Organizational Skills: At this formative age, students are gradually introduced to multiple subjects, projects, and assignments. A tracker book provides a centralized place to record, organize, and manage these tasks, laying the groundwork for developing organizational skills that will benefit them throughout their lives.
-
Boosts Responsibility & Independence: With a dedicated tracker, students take ownership of their academic responsibilities. They learn the importance of deadlines, prioritize tasks, and become more self-reliant in managing their time.
-
Visual Progress Monitoring: Tracking grades and feedback helps students visualize their progress over time. Recognizing areas of improvement or subjects that need extra attention can motivate them to put in more effort and achieve better outcomes.
-
Reduced Stress & Overwhelm: Knowing exactly what needs to be done and when it’s due can significantly reduce feelings of being overwhelmed. This clarity can diminish anxiety and stress associated with schoolwork, leading to a more balanced and enjoyable academic experience.
-
Enhanced Memory Retention: Writing down assignments and project details aids in memory retention. The act of jotting down tasks can reinforce learning and help students remember important details.
-
Fosters Goal Setting: With a clear overview of their academic trajectory, students can set short-term and long-term goals. Achieving these milestones can boost their confidence and drive further success.
-
Parent-Child Collaboration: The tracker book can serve as a communication bridge between parents and their children. Parents can be more involved, understanding what their child is working on, offering help when needed, and celebrating achievements together.
-
Preparation for Future Challenges: As students move on to higher grades, the complexity and volume of assignments increase. Having a system in place early on prepares them to handle these challenges more efficiently.
-
Creates a Record of Achievements: Over time, the tracker book becomes a tangible record of a student’s journey, highlighting their achievements, challenges, and growth. It can serve as a keepsake, reminding them of their dedication and hard work.
-
Enhances Creativity & Personalization: A tracker book can be more than just a functional tool. Students can personalize it with stickers, drawings, and notes, making it a reflection of their personality and encouraging creative expression.
In an age where digital distractions are rampant, this Homework, Grade & Project Tracker Book serves as a tangible, reliable, and personal tool to guide students aged 5-11 through their academic journey. Empower them with this essential resource, and watch them thrive both academically and personally. Perfect for parents, teachers, and guardians who want to provide the best for their young learners.

Using cartoons, diagrams and visual prompts to support the text, this Pocketbook is aimed at teaching assistants in primary and secondary schools in the UK but will be relevant to those working overseas. It starts by focusing on the position of the TA within a school and identifies the personnel, policies, procedures and practices to look for in an induction programme. Subsequent sections deal with how to work in partnership with teachers; effective ways to support pupils; and how, in a broader context, to assist the school. Topics include recording, reporting and evaluating; SEN; diversity in learning and how children learn; behaviour; and strategies for overcoming barriers to learning. The nuts and bolts of child protection and safeguarding, getting on with the teaching staff, contracts of employment, where to get support and how to further your career are all helpfully covered. Author Dot Constable has over 30 years teaching experience, including several years as a SENCO and deputy headteacher. Now working as an educational consultant she provides support, guidance and training to schools, LAs and teaching agencies.Read more

I Heard What You Said: A Black Teacher, A White System
A thought-provoking and fearless exploration of how we can dismantle racism in the classroom and do better by all our students.
An Amazon Best Non-Fiction Book of The Year
‘Essential reading‘ – The Guardian
‘Sharp and witty with moments of startling candour‘ – The i
‘Revealing and beautifully written‘ – David Harewood
_____Before Jeffrey Boakye was a black teacher, he was a black student. Which means he has spent a lifetime navigating places of learning that are white by default. Since training to teach, he has often been the only black teacher at school. At times seen as a role model, at others a source of curiosity, Boakye’s is a journey of exploration – from the outside looking in.
In the groundbreaking I Heard What You Said, he recounts how it feels to be on the margins of the British education system. As a black, male teacher – an English teacher who has had to teach problematic texts – his very existence is a provocation to the status quo, giving him a unique perspective on the UK’s classrooms.
Told through a series of eye-opening encounters based on the often challenging and sometimes outrageous things people have said to him or about him – from ‘Can you rap?‘ and ‘Have you been in prison?‘ to ‘Stephen who?‘ – Boakye reflects with passion and wit on what he has found out about the presumptions, silences and distortions that underpin the experience of black students and teachers.

EAL Pocketbook
Britain today is culturally and linguistically diverse. One in eight pupils in primary schools speaks a language other than English; in secondary schools, one in six. Over 200 languages are spoken in London schools. EAL (English as an additional language) learners are those who were exposed to a language other than English during their early development. They come from varied backgrounds and parts of the world – including the UK -and may speak several languages but are also learning English. The EAL Pocketbook supports teachers of pupils in mainstream classes learning English as an additional language, whether in rural or urban contexts. It provides tips, tools and techniques to ensure that all pupils can thrive in their learning. Author Alice Washbourne takes an inclusive approach modelled on ‘the ladder to success’. Teachers begin with the learner’s skills and strengths, build on these to make learning cognitively challenging, then provide scaffolding to support their move towards independent learning. Chapters cover how to make EAL learners feel welcome; climbing the ‘ladder to success’; the use of visuals and talk as learning media; supporting students across the curriculum with practical ideas for facilitating reading, writing and language development. The book is highly illustrated throughout. A range of cartoons, diagrams and other visuals support the text making the key messages both accessible and memorable. Alice Washbourne is a consultant EAL advisor, trainer and coach.Read more

Questioning Technique Pocketbook
Research shows that when teachers think more about questioning – deepening their understanding, extending their range of strategies and planning their questions – responses from pupils improve and engagement and learning increase. Teachers’ questions play a critical role, not just for the thinking they provoke, but in the modelling of questioning skills and the development of curiosity. Using cartoons, diagrams and visual prompts to support the text, this highly practical Pocketbook is suitable for all teachers. It separates out the elements of questioning – framing them, delivering them, and responding to the answers – and offers both simple tweaks and fundamental shifts to turn instinctive practice into a highly effective teaching and learning tool. An introductory chapter looks at how questions stimulate learning and includes a range of questioning taxonomies and models. This leads on to how to build ‘a questioning environment’ that encourages participation, sharing, exploration and thoughtful responses. A section entitled ‘Framing Questions’ identifies different kinds of questions and how they work, and subsequent chapters cover ways to deliver questions and respond to the answers you are given. A final short section provides checklists for monitoring and improving practice. Gorden Pope has over 25 years’ experience in education as a teacher, LA adviser and now an independent consultant and Associate MA Ed. Tutor.
