Boosting Teaching & Grades on Finance & Decision-making
This brand-new course targets teachers of A Level and IB Business. It will be invaluable for those who have never taught these topics before (think decision trees & CPA as well as accounts and investment appraisal) but also for those who have never felt comfortable with their own teaching. Ian Marcouse’s thesis with these subject areas is simple: good teaching means getting on top of the numbers so that one can discuss the big strategic implications of topics such as Critical Path – to succeed at the 12+ mark questions. This course is suitable for teachers of AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Eduqas Business A Level, plus the International Baccalaureate.

Edexcel Business Pre-Released Task for 2020
Ian has had a lot of experience researching, writing and analysing case material. Furthermore, he’s written more than 40 A Level exam papers and can therefore see how the pre-released material relates to exam questions. He’ll prepare Powerpoints, case studies and plenty of mock exam questions and mark schemes/answers based on the 2019 task. All the materials will be on the complimentary memory stick – handed to those doing the full day course and posted to those taking it online. The plan is simple: help your students to get better results and stop you getting side-tracked by the research required. The 2020 task is turned into a revision programme.
