Using Bedrock for the humanities at St. Anselm's

A key challenge identified in the humanities department is that learners are seemingly less inclined to read long texts, preferring bite-sized chunks of information and these smaller snippets often don’t include that academic vocabulary that it is so important for learners to encounter. Bedrock ticks both boxes, teaching complex tier 3 vocabulary in bite-sized chunks.

One history teacher noted that her Year 8 learners are being exposed to and are understanding words around sanitation and the industrial revolution that older year 11 learners often struggle with. Teachers also feel that Bedrock Mapper helps them to focus their curriculum content so that it more precisely addresses their key concepts.
