 Teachers New to Edexcel Business/Economics & Business

Birmingham, Hotel du Vin - Tuesday June 29th
London, Hoxton Hotel - Wednesday June 30th

Many Centres are unhappy about the new 2008 Business A Level specifications  and are thinking of changing to a more innovative course. With its focus on international business (especially China and India), this course is a breath of fresh air. This one-day course provides an overview of the syllabus content, exam pattern and marking and is therefore an ideal introduction. It will also suit staff at existing Centres, who are about to teach the Edexcel course for the first time.

New to Economics - 3 day course  London, July 5th - 7th 2010

A-Z's 3-Day course is run in conjunction with the Institute of Education and Marwan Mikdadi of St Paul's School.

In 2010, the tutors will include Senior Examiners from the main awarding bodies and the 3 days will offer advice on 'How to teach...' plus sessions on exam papers and marking standards. This course is ideal for anyone introducing Economics for the first time, new to an Economics department or plain rusty.

NQT/New to Business Studies - 3 day course  London, July 12th - 14th 2010

It includes direct instruction on how to teach elasticity, accounts and ratios, investment appraisal, motivation and many other key topics. There will be input from inspectors and Chief Examinors to clarify the standards sought in the classroom. The July 2009 course was a great success - largely because three intensive days can make a real difference. Delegates receive a memory stick with a huge wealth of Ian Marcouse's resources.

Ian has researched extensively into China and India, but defers to the additional expertise of his guest. Professor Vyakarnam, Director of Cambridge University Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning, returns regularly to India, his home country
