CD that will provide teachers with an extra resource to their teaching

Project update
   
  Through my experiences of visiting schools to see trainee teachers it was evident that many Design Technology teachers taught this subject to a prescriptive formula with little scope for creativity. I produced an aid that would allow teachers an extra resource to their teaching that promoted "risk-taking". The CD would provide evidence of processes and examples of children's work.
   
  I worked alongside undergraduate trainee teachers using these processes through a series of projects. I then followed the trainee teachers into the classroom to track how the children that the trainees taught responded. I recorded the outcomes.
   
  Some of the information on the CD explains simply how the brain works, basically which side does what, how to understand where ones strengths lie, how to stimulate the brain, how to use mind mapping but generally to be inquisitive.
   
  The CD has evidence of work produced from Keystage 2 to Degree Level.
