No video this week

Hi everyone, there is to be no video in preparation for next lesson.  We have completed the syllabus for Education (my part anyway) so from now until the exam we are doing revision, revision, revision.

In addition to the revision for the mock exam in lesson I require you to show me 2 pieces of consolidation for education.  This could be a mind map, flashcards, essay plans, AN and EV grids, whatever it is you do to go over your notes and consolidate them.

Here's a choon for you if you are having Stephen video withdrawal - I think its canny!

Ethnicity and Education - External factors

Hey howdy hey

This week we focus on the idea that there are differences in educational achievement between ethnicity groups, and that external forces have a say in the existence of these statistics and theories. No subject specific music video this week as I couldn't find a suitable one - so I have chosen a blast from (my) past video - enjoy.

Gender identity and subject choice


"Having fun and playing fools
Smashing up the woodwork tools"

How does your gender impact on what subjects you choose at school and beyooonnnnnddddd?(Madness reference joke!)

Please ensure that you have your essays on gender differences for the lesson - it is important!

We have 7 teaching weeks until the Family exam on the 12th May, followed by the Education exam on the 21st.  Time and work is of the essence; these weeks will go fast if you sit back and relax.  If you use these weeks well and work hard then they will be 7 successful weeks.
