Resources
With many of the staff here at Class People having worked in the education sector, we understand how time-consuming scrolling through the internet looking for secondary and primary teaching supplies, resources, and materials, as well as inspirational ideas and tips for teachers, TAs and early years practitioners can be. It’s especially difficult to find resources that are of a high enough standard to have a positive impact in the classroom! We’ve therefore taken the time to research these for you, and have compiled a list of some of the best online teaching resources available that may prove helpful for you throughout the academic year.
Don’t forget to read the Class People blogs for insightful information and updates from our team and leading educators and follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter for daily updates and job posts.
