The year 9 materials were released at the core training day at which every Bedfordshire Upper School was represented.

Sample Teaching unit 8.5

It was suggested at this training day that Upper Schools start in September by trialling the Sample Teaching Unit 8.5 for this year only. This can be a good way of providing useful liaison between Upper Schools and their feeder Middle Schools and also insight into seeing at first hand what the 2004 intake year will have experienced in the Middle Schools. Many of the Upper Schools have already agreed to taking this suggestion on board in September and one school is already planning with their feeder schools to run the unit in 2004 as a bridging project.

During preparation of the Year 9 Training Day, it was discovered that there were a few errors on the resources CD for the Year 9 case studies. Below are the corrected files which you may wish to download.

CS 9.2b Pupil resource 4.doc now the correct file

CS 9.2b Pupil resource 4.pdf now the correct file
