Planning and Delivering AQA A2 2009

This is the follow-up to last year's INSET events on the new AS Spec, but strengthened by the addition of Andrew Gillespie and Mike Pickerden to the team (the two A2 Principal Examiners). The detailed, up-to-date Scheme of Work provided on Memory Stick will enable you to add materials as things arise between now and September 09. In this new Spec, the A2 is where the greatest changes lie, so there is a lot to consider.

Planning and Delivering Edexcel A2 '09

This is the follow-up to last year's INSET events on the new AS Spec. The detailed, up-to-date Scheme of Work provided on Memory Stick will enable you to add materials as things arise between now and September 09. In this new Spec, the A2 is where the greatest changes lie, so there is a lot to consider. An early booking is advised as these events will sell out. Although the two possible Principal Examiners were unable to confirm in time for this leaflet, be assured that the level of specialist input will be very high.

Starting To Teach Edexcel GCSE 2009

Session 1. The Basics: Ian Marcouse explains the origins and the ethos of the course, and takes a detailed overview of the teaching material.

Sessions 2&3. Drilling down into the Teaching Resources. 3 years in Pilot means that a huge amount of teaching material has been generated. We go through the Schemes of Work and over 50 MB of classroom resources. All these will be yours to take away on memory stick

Session 4. Feedback on the Pilot. Ian Marcouse will give a short account of the feedback received so far at Edexcel, then invite two Pilot teachers to explain how they tackle some of the newer parts of the Specification - and how they work at developing a more enterprising approach to learning among their students.

Session 5. A detailed look at the Controlled Assessment task. This will be done with special help from Pilot teachers who understand the demands of the Specification

Session 6. A full look through the exam papers, mark schemes and a look at a student answer to a written exam paper. Ian explains in detail the right teaching methods for the Unit 1 (Year 10) exam paper.
