Resources Review (RR)
This section of the 3PF assesses the following mandatory units in whole or in part

Using resources for education and training (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 3.2)
Resources can play an important part in supporting inclusive teaching and learning. Adapting and using resources to meet the individual needs of learners are crucial in reducing barriers to learner participation and promoting learner achievement. The Resources Review provides you with the opportunity to show how the resources you use not only support learner engagement and motivation, but also how they support the development of learners’ literacy, language, numeracy and ICT.
The use of ICT in developing resources helps teachers to differentiate activities and assessment for all learners. Integrating up to date and purposeful ICT into teaching and learning further supports accessibility for learners as well as providing meaningful and authentic activities to support teaching, learning and assessment.
The Resources Review also promotes the skills of critical reflection and analysis by encouraging you to engage in evaluating your resources.
The Resources Review provides an opportunity for you to show your knowledge, understanding and use of a range of general and subject specific resources, including new and emerging technologies, which promote inclusion and effective teaching and learning. It also allows you to demonstrate their skills of evaluation and analysis.
The Resources Review is in two parts. You must

(400 words)
2 Choose three resources, one of which must be a ‘technological’ resource and discuss
- how and why these resources promote inclusive learning
- how they contribute to developing learners’ literacy, language, numeracy and ICT skills
- how the resources have been adapted to meet the needs of individual learners
- the overall effectiveness of these resources including any limitations and how you could improve upon your own practice in using resources in meeting the needs of all learners
