About Me

Hi!  I'm Sue de Lautour.  I have over 20 years'  experience teaching High School English and am also a trained ESL teacher.  I live in Tauranga, New Zealand.  This site was first designed to cater for the needs of teachers with regard to Achievement and Unit Standard tasks.  Everything else here I've added as the urge has hit! 

 

When it comes to Achievement Standards and Unit Standards, I know for sure that teachers need resources they can:

  • afford

  • edit (to put  their own spin on them)

  • share  online with their students

  • share with colleagues without having to worry about the copyright police arriving

  • rely on to guide students to success.

Students need resources that:

  • allow them to work independently, at their own pace

  • are a little more 21st Century

  • 'speak' to them clearly ... in teen lingo (yes, yes, an oxymoron)

  • look (at least reasonably) cool.

 

​So, Drive Resources is here!  The idea is that you do what I've been doing and share the task booklets to students through Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive - hence the name Drive Resources.  Alternatively, you could upload documents to your Google Classroom or Microsoft Class Notebook, or even email students the word document.  Of course, you can always just hit 'print' to give out hard copies. 

​

As mentioned above, everything else began to follow as needs, requests and the desire hit!  Eg:  Website pages you can never find (NZQA pages... cough... cough).  So that's what I'm doing!  You might even find Drive Resources your new 'go to' site! 

​

One last thing - do feel free to check out a few of my old teaching resources at the bottom of the page.  Pillage and plunder at your leisure!

 

Feel free to contact me with your feedback or resource requests.  Ngā mihi, Sue.

Free - Google Drive Folders

I've dumped a few things in a Google folder straight from my school folders - bits and bobs you are welcome to wade through.  They're not pretty, not organised, some are even incomplete, and they do include bits I've scrounged from elsewhere ... so good luck!
