Name and school withheld.

Chalk face has been my go to resource for many years. I run a SEMH Provision and the intervention books cover everything from self esteem to difficult events and behaviours. I could not be without them and the students absolutely buy into it.

I downloaded this resource as I am a Learning Mentor in a Secondary school and we have issues that are arising concerning truancy. I use these resources to support group work or 1-1 I address this issue and explain to the students the importance of them being in school, the safety issue and what they have missed while truanting. Looking at the bigger picture and on who it affects.

Teacher Testing Report

A good idea: there is a wide range of materials available. The information is accessible to mixed ability classrooms.
