Ensuring
The Resource is Used Resources for our clients
are prepared by experts. From education professionals to talented
writers and designers, we have commissioned top names including
Quentin Blake, Ian Dicks and the late Roald Dahl to produce
illustrations and copy to appeal to young people.
But this is not enough. To communicate effectively, educational
resources must work in the classroom. As the National Curriculum
is revised and updated, no organisation can assume it knows
instinctively what students and teachers want.
Your
resources will be extensively piloted within schools to evaluate their effectiveness.
This involves:
feedback on draft materials
from teachers
regular visits to schools
and colleges to talk to students and observe current
teaching methods
organising meetings
with groups of teachers to discuss their requirements
close liaison with the
awarding bodies and the Qualifications and Curriculum
Authority
strict adherence to
the standards set by the National Consumer Council
for sponsored educational resources
testing materials with
sample audiences and re-drafting until we are sure
that they fulfil the brief.
