Instructions for teachers:
AchieversUK.com
is
designed to be simple and hassle-free for teachers.
You
can make use of either the profiles or quizzes, or
both. You can also suggest more
Achievers for your school's section.
Using the profiles:
1.
Go to your school cluster's section on the website
2.
Use the short profiles with your pupils as you see
fit. For example:
-
lead a class
discussion on how the success of former pupils in a wide variety of
fields and at different levels, shows you can succeed without
becoming a celebrity
-
use specific profiles
to help lessons (e.g. a profile of a World War I soldier is an ideal
hook for a history lesson)
-
ask your pupils to
write their own profiles for 20 years in the future, so encouraging
them to think about what they realistically want to do when they
leave school
-
ask pupils to make up
a story which features as many of your school's Achievers as
possible
-
enter the quizzes (see
below)
Using the quizzes:
The
quizzes are availabe from the side columns of the
school pages.
Pupils
can enter online. Very little input, if any,
is required from the teacher once the youngsters are
at the quiz page.
Please
note, pupils submit
only their first name, class & teacher, and we do not collect
any e-mail addresses. We NEVER communicate
with the pupils directly.
If more than 10 pupils
from a primary school, and 20 pupils from a secondary school, enter a
quiz, a book token or other prize will be sent to the school.
We send the prize to the
class teacher and we ask them to choose a winner at random or allocate
the prize to a youngster who has worked hard on the quiz and may get a
particular boost from winning. (The criterion is working hard rather
than getting every question correct.)
There is no need to tell
us which pupil has won, because we do not post winners' names on the
website.
Teachers tell us, the
quizzes are extremely teacher-friendly, requiring no preparation and
very little input. (Indeed, we are teachers ourselves so this is a
core aim of the project.)
