As highly requested following feedback on my "Dip Tips" blog post, I created this Dip Starter Pack to save probationary teachers lots of time, effort and money. I've just updated it for the 2021-2022 school year. I couldn't help myself when making it and went a bit overboard in buying shabby chic and bullet journal style clip art! You'll see that theme running through the pack! :)
Here's what's in the 170 page pack:
(the preview picture below doesn't show everything! Scroll down to read the full contents.)
PLANNING RESOURCES:
- Example short-term (weekly) plans
- Example long-term (termly) plans

- Weekly planning checklists (3 sheets, one per term)
- Editable checklists and information sheets (e.g. homework record, information for substitute teachers, birthday record, etc.)
- Teacher calendar sheets (August 2021 - July 2022)
- Editable international Events Calendar (2021-2022)
- A PDF copy of my "Dip Tips" blog post
ASSESSMENT RESOURCES:
- Superhero-themed behaviour management tools including an editable token chart, token sheets, an editable behaviour record cover, goal-setting/reflection sheets, a behaviour frequency record with an example and instructions)

Many of these resources are available individually (paid/free) in my TPT store. The total of the paid resources is $18.50. This bundle allows you to save $6.50 as it's priced at $12 (that's roughly €10.60). The example weeklies, termlies and cuntais míosúla are not sold separately. Those are a bonus just for this bundle! So, in summary, for just over a tenner (not a massive investment!) you'll get 170 pages of example plans, planning and assessment templates and classroom displays.
Here's a closer look at just some of the things that are inside. Click on the images if you'd like to purchase these separately! Many are suitable for non-dip-doing teachers too!
