Description

ABOUT THIS COURSE

This brand-new course will explore the more difficult to teach topics in AQA GCSE PE and is designed for all teachers who wish to ensure their students maximise their potential.

By providing a range of fresh and innovative teaching approaches to help students achieve a greater depth of understanding in these areas, the course aims to help teachers foster outstanding teaching, learning and achievement and raise the overall attainment of their classes.

Emphasis is placed on the content students (and occasionally teachers) often struggle with, the tough topics and strategies and approaches needed to teach them more successfully, how to wrestle with the challenges of the synoptic nature of the course and skills students need for successful exam performance.

Although aimed at teachers delivering AQA GCSE PE this course will benefit those following other major exam boards.
