Some love tutor time. Some hate it. Yet tutor time creates the opportunity to forget the formalities of teaching subjects and getting to know pupils on a more individual level. No matter how your school manages tutor time (either by year-group, or a mix of years within one tutor group), the opportunities to make the most of this valuable time are explored expertly by Molly Potter in her book aimed at Secondary School teachers.
With 100 specific ideas, the book offers a great mix of short sessions which cover a wide range of issues that impact on the lives of modern students. From e-safety to issues of equality, or issues around homework, lying or puberty, this book covers a lot of issues which are not addressed within the wider curriculum. The ideas and activities within the book focus around preparing pupils for the world beyond the formal education system, and include activities to support debating and helping to develop a discerning eye when it comes to interacting with the media.
This is a pick-up-and-use book in many ways, but when planning the tutor time you have with your students, Molly has devised a useful little resource which can truly help students become well-rounded in their view of the world.
