Teachers - can you share your inset day wisdom with us pretty please?

This all sounds so random and disorganised.

Shouldn't you be coordinating a central approach with DfE? Or other recognised coordinating body?

Asking random posters the DAY BEFORE filming is just not going to capture the input required.

Why this last minute chaotic approach? Why not use official sources?

You also need to produce a 'pack' to support the video... giving useful resources for further info, websites etc and, perhaps, consider handouts for the children to take home.

Yet again, it's the old saying 'prior planning prevents p.....'.

I thought it was 'proper planning...'. After all, you can't really plan after the event.

I agree with your overall point though. The MSE approach appears to be somewhat last minute and haphazard.

Daisiegg - this video is quite good for assemblies or classes: http://videos.pfegresources.org/secondary.html


Also, MSEWendy - I wonder if it is worth talking to TES andgetting any resources you make on there and maybe linking with them to promote Financial education? I use the site to find resources and struggled to find Financial Education things on there. Also by working with an established site which teachers know and are more likely to use (especially for finding resources) you will get a wider reach than just financial websites such as pfeg.

Thanks emzig - I plan to try and get the video on TES when it's done. I have seen a few different resources on there, as well as the pfeg site, so it's a shame to hear you say you struggle to find ones you want to use.


We know this video has been a bit last minute, I did fess up to that in my post yesterday, but trust me we're trying to do the best we can with the time and limited resources we have available.


I hope you think the film is useful and/or interesting when it's done. If not we'll take your comments on board and see if we can plan something else later in the school year.

Hi,

I am an Assistant Headteacher and as you already have discovered our insets were planned in June sometime, however I think this is an excellent idea and something my school would be very interested in, our headteacher has put a lot of emphasis on these areas of the curriculum and we recently had a company in called mybank in to do a workshop with our younger years !

My role is the Director of Sixth Form and I would be interested in doing something for my year 13s who will ever be progressing into uni or their first full time job so would need some financial advice !

I am in school tomorrow for results day so will mention to the head.

Thank you:)
