2. Staff instructions
As you should be aware, Knowledge Organisers are being introduced this academic
year. This tutor programme will help build the foundations for students to familiarise
themselves with the concept of them as well as how to use them effectively.
• Each week is broken down to focus on a section of a Knowledge Organiser which is
provided in the form of a print out for each student and detailed in this presentation.
• It is really important that students know and understand how to self-quiz (detailed in
the presentation) as this will aid them in learning and remembering the new
knowledge they are exposed to over the coming weeks. This strategy will be used
each week to learn a new section of the Knowledge Organiser and they can use this
with their other subjects.
• Week 5 is consolidating what the students have learnt over the past 4 weeks, you
may wish to incorporate some interleaving (details in the link) in the previous weeks
to help aid this.
• When you get to week 6 and 7 the students will use their subject specific
Knowledge Organisers. Details of some more strategies they can use can be found
on these slides.
• If at any point you are not sure on something or have a question please do not
hesitate to come and see me in CR3 or e-mail me by clicking this link:

21. Using one of your Knowledge Organisers for your subjects, use the Self-Quizzing
method to start revising that topic.
Once you have Self-Quizzed and you have all the information correct try some of the
following:
• Can you expand/elaborate on the information you have learnt? If you can do
this, this will show that you have a deeper understanding of the topic.
• Can you reorganise the information on the Knowledge Organiser to further
help your learning?
o An example of this could be, a list of key historical figures from the Second
World War could be organised hierarchically in terms of power/status.
• Create some “Why” questions based on the information in your Knowledge
Organiser. Once this is done quiz a friend using these questions, can they
answer them showing they understand the information within the topic.
