What Economics Teachers said about WOW! Economics 2014
"An inspirational session covering techniques for starting lessons and reviewing topics. I came away buzzing with ideas for making teaching Economics interesting"
"Amazing course - built my confidence as a teacher new to teaching A Level economics. Took away a massive amount of games and activities that I can use in the classroom (and I have been able to adapt to use in other lessons too). I use about 2-5 of them a week in my teaching. the students love the resources"
"Fantastic for newly qualified teachers of Economics! I thoroughly enjoyed the course."
"This course will have an immediate impact on my practice and consequently for my students. I have been a follower of everything tutor2u for several years now and was delighted to finally get involved in one of the CPD events. The course met all learning outcomes and I came away from the event with a pack of activities and ideas which will be passed on to my colleagues at our own CPD day."
What we are covering on the WOW! Economics 2015 Course
For 2015 we have 40 new teaching & learning resources produced by our team of 10 experienced Economics teachers. The table below lists some of the topics covered by the resources - all come in a folder to take away and use back in the class room.
Along with the topics covered below we have additional resources aimed at enhancing skills in examinations, engaging starters and plenaries to get a buzz in your classroom and our usual liberal helping of editable PowerPoint Games to test knowledge and understanding.
And, of course, by attending WOW! Economics you get one of those welcome opportunities to meet and network with other teachers of Economics.
All topics have been examined to ensure that they are remaining in the new specification version of A level Economics (all boards) arriving in September 2015.
