A new CPD one-day course for AS Economics teachers will be run in Manchester and London during October 2009.  The new course provides a superb range of new resources and approaches you can use to enliven AS Economics courses + a chance to try the materials at first hand.

Places will be strictly limited to a maximum of 30 delegates for each day, so please register your interest early…

Ruth Tarrant and Amanda Campion will be devising and running the one-day INSET course.  The programme is summarised further below.

The provisional dates and venues are Central London (12 October) and Central Manchester (19 October) - venues to be confirmed.
