There is a vast assortment of teaching and learning materials out there, including amazing websites, materials from examination boards, and of course educational businesses which produce many things for us teachers.

It seems as though flexibility in planning learning develops with experience. For instance, once you have a selection of “masters”, they can be adapted for many topics. Having a simple poster or leaflet template has proved useful when asking pupils to demonstrate comprehension, having ready images to centre mind-maps works well too, as well as social media templates to create profiles.
