Starters and Plenaries

Finding good starters and plenaries that comply with the Key Stage 3 National Strategy is often a challenge. The Starters and Plenaries series is designed to support subject Frameworks and other DfES guidance by adhering to:

  • The principle — Structure the learning
  • The action — Use starters and plenaries and a clear lesson structure.

These resources are provided on CD-ROM and form an ideal starting point for the classroom teacher or head of department. Each contains an extensive bank of teaching material to be adapted for use in your department, saving valuable time and energy. The emphasis is on ideas, intended for the classroom teacher to develop to fit their students' particular needs. Each starter leads into an appropriate plenary session, and the resources offer real choice and support.
