Century Tech is an excellent tool that saves time for teachers and can extend pupil´s learning. It does take a little time to learn how to use effectives, which for a busy teacher can be difficult to find (hence losing a point), however, once up and running it is a fantastic help which staff, students and parents love.

David Gross found CENTURY:
  • Significantly reduces teacher workload
    Apart from for homework, we regularly use Century Tech in maths and English. It removes the marking burden and gives us a quick and easy way to assess understand and gaps within the class. We also use it to support EAL children in English where there are grammatical holes in their knowledge. Furthermore, we use it in science as an assessment tool and as a teaching tool where scientific methodology is concerned (before conducting experiments).
  • Significantly provides school data
    Century is used to quickly inform teacher assessment. Typically, we will assess each student using formative data, before then checking our thoughts with the work they complete on Century. If there is a difference, then we would take a deeper dive when making a decision on the children´s ability in that subject.
  • Moderately improves teaching efficiency
    Planning for Century lessons tends to be quicker than a conventional lesson as the nugget will deliver the teaching. As the lesson progresses, it is very easy to target support in the class, so there is no need to plan "expected" support. Rather, after the first 10 minutes or so, it is easy to see where the teacher time is best spent. Likewise, the plenary is defined by the most common areas that the class struggled with, thus ensuring we make the most of our child facing teacher time.
  • Moderately improves attainment
    As we are able to target support, tailor homework and encourage the children to lead their own learning using the learning pathway, Century can have a big impact on attainment. For those children that have a thirst for knowledge, it enables them to find areas of interest and study them before we teach that area in class. As data is stored, we as teachers are quickly able to see whom we need to challenge and stretch.
  • Moderately builds student knowledge
    Whilst as teachers, we try to illustrate many ways to look at a problem / question, having Century to draw on is like having another teacher voice for the children. They are therefore better able to choose how they wish to learn and so are able to embed, further or consolidate knowledge.
