Teacher Print Tools — Week 5

Retrieval Quiz

Arrival Task – What Do You Already Know?

1. Say it

Name one tool used in a kitchen or garden.

Any honest answer — e.g. a whisk, a trowel.

2. Spot it

Name one safety rule for using a tool.

Any honest answer counts.

3. Point to it

Point to where tools should be stored.

Any honest answer counts.

1. The big idea

Why use the right tool for a job?

Own words — it is safer and does the job better.

2. Today’s work

Why clean and store tools after use?

A sensible answer — to keep them safe and working.

3. Success check

By the end you use a tool safely. What makes use safe?

Name one — e.g. the right grip, away from others.

1. Tool logic

Why can the wrong tool be dangerous?

Because it can slip, break, or force you into an unsafe move.

2. Evidence test

‘I can use that tool.’ What proof shows it?

A task done with it safely, cleaned and stored, witnessed.

3. Care

Is cleaning tools part of using them? Argue it.

Own argument — care keeps them safe and ready for the next person.

I Do

The Model — Tools and Equipment

Key Idea: Right tool, safe use, then clean and store.

👀 Look: the right tool, a safe grip, then cleaned and stored.

Step 0 of 3

Choose the right tool.

Each job has a tool made for it. The right tool is safer and does the job better; forcing the wrong one risks a slip or a break.

Use it safely.

A firm grip, cutting or working away from your body and others, and full attention. If a tool needs training, use it only with staff.

Clean and store.

After use, clean the tool and return it to its place. This keeps it safe, working, and ready for the next person.

Proving It — The Evidence Loop

Key Idea: A task done with the right tool, safely, cleaned and stored, is real evidence.

Step 0 of 3

Documentarian

photo your tool in use and stored away.

Annotate

write ‘I chose this tool because ___’.

Witness

staff sign your safe tool use.

For the moderator, not just the folder

A tick says it happened. A witness statement says what you did. Before the photo is filed, the adult writes one sentence naming the thing they actually saw you do — and rings whether you did it Supported, Standard or Stretch.

That ring is the part that counts. It is the difference between “the class did this” and “this candidate did it, at this level, with this much help.” The witness sheet prints with every pack.

Scaffolding – Supported

Access & sensory notes (staff)
· The supported task today is: Match tool cards to their job, then use one tool safely with an adult and store it.
· Fine motor: offer the chunky-grip pen, and accept a card sort or a spoken answer scribed by an adult — the judgement is the evidence, not the handwriting.
· Sensory: offer the write-it-first option before any share-aloud; nobody is put on the spot cold.
· Cognitive load: a completed small piece beats a half-done large one at moderation. Cut the target, never the thinking.
· Ring the level honestly on the witness sheet. Supported with the work finished is a stronger portfolio entry than Standard with it abandoned.
