EBI - students said they have covered a lot of the content before (e.g. stress/worry, time management). Don't enjoy powerpoint heavy sessions. 

Future sessions -

EBI - Didactic (sitting and listening) ineffective; some (student designed) powerpoints not engaging - why not ask subject areas for topics to focus on?.

Stress levels are about 3/5.
No one feels that their time management skills have improved.
6 students enjoyed making the presentations
15 students enjoyed watching the presentations.
No students would use anything other than powerpoint.
They would like to learn about financial issues like student loans, budgeting and mortgages. ]]> 2019-10-21 08:37:12 UTC https://padlet.com/a_mcintyre/Y12_LIFESKILLS_EVALUATIONS/wish/400181464 https://padlet.com/a_mcintyre/Y12_LIFESKILLS_EVALUATIONS/wish/400184234 WWW- we did receive some useful information some of the time mainly in the lesson about time management 
EBI - we are just going over things we already know and see this lesson as kind of pointless. I don't think we should receive homework from this lesson either especially spending time doing a presentation when we all have other valuable things we could be doing. 
Could this time not be spent more wisely.  

some of the lessons and tasks in life skills could be useful if only structured better e.g the presentations would be much more efficient if they were more structured instead of very all over the place 
some of the stuff has already been covered before so is a complete waste

As weird as it sounds but id like to learn how to manage finances and how taxes work regarding paying them
These are real lifeskills

L1 was useful to think about, L2 was not useful as timetabling doesnt account for sudden events (doesnt help the fabled growth mindset), L3 wasnt great as notetaking is different to everyone, Ls4 and 5 were good in concept as they encouraged teamwork and presentaion skills, but really the homework was too big with everything else in A level

Best - Stress Management
Worst - Timetable
They could be improved by having more real world topics.
I'd only use PowerPoint.
More revision techniques.
One on one session organizing with teachers.

WWW- The time and stress managment
EBI- If it was more engaging, the rest of the lessons have felt unnecessary

(Student evaluation) presentation and collaboration skills were useful and fun but wasn’t a fan of the timetabling and stress management lessons - they weren't overly helpful. Would like to cover proper life aspects rather than revision and management skills

L3 was the worst one, because everyone takes notes differently and planning a timetable isn't effective to revision because you can new deadlines for homework that would then ruin the timetable anyway. 

The presentations needed more structure because it wasn't clear what we needed to do.

It would have been more useful to learn actual life skills such as taxes etc because we actually need to know that whereas creating a timetable isn't going to be important and we've spent the past 5 years in PD doing that anyway.

Good to give students time to reflect on their online reputation and link it to future applications. Many were already savvy about this topic, though good discussions unfolded.
Videos brief and informative.
Students generally found lesson useful.

EBI - A simple activity to see what they could find out about the online reputations of others would have been useful (and probably quite enlightening).]]> 2020-02-04 07:43:41 UTC https://padlet.com/a_mcintyre/Y12_LIFESKILLS_EVALUATIONS/wish/440112615 https://padlet.com/a_mcintyre/Y12_LIFESKILLS_EVALUATIONS/wish/440113931 WWW - Good to focus on the differences (and relative importance of) reality and reputation.

EBI - Slides quite word-heavy; could have included an activity to change one/two aspects of their social media profiles and/or set up a LinkedIn profile to create an online CV; this could then be built on in future employability lessons, used to research careers/networks, etc.]]> 2020-02-04 07:48:24 UTC https://padlet.com/a_mcintyre/Y12_LIFESKILLS_EVALUATIONS/wish/440113931 https://padlet.com/a_mcintyre/Y12_LIFESKILLS_EVALUATIONS/wish/440114723 WWW - Very interesting to discuss personality types, especially using Myers-Briggs.

Writing a CV is about standing out from the crowd and this gave students food for thought on this.
The case examples of career paths was excellent. ]]> 2020-02-08 19:57:00 UTC https://padlet.com/a_mcintyre/Y12_LIFESKILLS_EVALUATIONS/wish/442582428 https://padlet.com/a_mcintyre/Y12_LIFESKILLS_EVALUATIONS/wish/442912359 WWW- some students found identifying areas of strengths and weakness useful, as well as thinking about examples to talk about in interviews.

Evaluation- some students felt this session was repeating some aspects of other sessions. Lots of students also have assessments today/this week so wanted to spend time on independent study and revision.

excellent resources and made lots of impact on students who are currently finding work experience placements. The networking aspect is something 2 students had already benefited from. It is really encouraging to see how worldly wise the students are and have even started to use Indeed job search.
