Launching CENTURY with Secondary Learners

Integrating a new piece of technology into your secondary classroom can feel overwhelming, but here are some tips to help you effectively use CENTURY to support your teaching and reduce your workload:

Classroom resources:

To make the most of CENTURY in a secondary classroom, consider having the following equipment:

• 1-2-1 Devices: Ideal for individual work. If you have limited devices, CENTURY can still be used for group activities, small group or individual interventions, or as a teaching tool.
• Whiteboard / projector for displaying to a class or group.
• Headphones: Essential for students to engage with video content without distractions. Alternatively, you can use slides as another learning material.
• Calculator for maths and science.
• Mini-Whiteboards or Jotters: Useful for students to record their working out and solve problems.

Using CENTURY for teaching:

• Set specific nuggets as assignments that align with your teaching in class.
• Use CENTURY’s videos or slides as teaching tools.
• Display the learning material or questions on the board for starter activities.
• Use CENTURY’s questions as a short classroom activity.
• Use TeacherGENie to create or print tailored questions (English only).

Using CENTURY for interventions:

• Use diagnostic data to identify groups that need support or more challenging content in specific areas.
• Use Nugget tab data to inform in-class interventions and address misconceptions.
• Use My Courses for students/additional adults to quickly and easily find appropriate learning content.
• Allow a class or group of students to address their learning gaps by following their Recommended Path.
• Use TeacherGENie to create or print tailored retrieval questions (English only).

Using CENTURY for assessment:

CENTURY offers rich data to enhance teacher assessment. Here’s how you can leverage it:

• Use diagnostics as pre-/post-assessments to measure progress at the start and end of a unit and to guide your planning.
• Assign specific nuggets for formative assessments during lessons.
• Set content from the previous year to assess prior learning of a topic.
• Navigate to My Courses and display nugget questions as a whole-class plenary activity.
