Teacher's page

Teachers! Are you looking for fresh ideas to use in the classroom? Parents in Touch has a huge range of colourful and stimulating resources for you to use in the classroom. The site was initially set up to help parents, but the interest shown by schools has led us to open up the site to teachers, many of whom are now using our resources in the classroom and as homework activities.

The pages listed below have been created to help you, as a teacher, make best use of our resources in the classroom. Once registered on the site as a teacher you will have access to these special pages as well as all other resources:

At Parents in Touch we appreciate that both parents and teachers have a role in educating, stimulating and encouraging enjoyment in learning for children of all ages. It is useful to teachers for parents to have an insight into the systems of schooling, subjects covered for their children's age group and the achievements possible for each age group. This page highlights some of the material which teachers use to ensure that every pupil has a good foundation of learning at all stages.
