Form Introduction What's the differences to "normal" - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

• What's the point of this? • To give you some sense of how 6th form life is different. • To introduce you to some new study skill ideas • To explain what will happen between now and September Welcome to Sixth Form Introduction

What's the differences to "normal" induction? • We would usually run induction over 3 days in school. You would have an hour and a half with me, rest of the time would be going to taster sessions in your chosen subjects. • In "normal" years there would be no transition tasks as you would be too busy with GCSEs • We have decided not to try and do taster sessions online. Main reason is the transition task give a very good idea about the subjects we offer. These tasks mean you have spent more time and got more insight into chosen subjects than in a "normal" year so in some ways better than taster sessions.

Study skills We will be doing plenty of work on this in Sept. More independence is the big one, but do you know... Best places to research? How to check if websites reliable? How good are you at managing your time? What do you do when you have a problem with work? Do you have a suitable place to work at home, free from interruption?
