Here's a handy guide to the training, support and guidance available to teachers of A level economics.

Face-to-face CPD courses are a great way to pick up ideas and share experiences with colleagues more widely, and I've designed several really popular courses that run every academic year. But we know that getting out of school for a day can sometimes be difficult, so we have a large numbers of detailed, focused and supportive On Demand CPD courses across a wide range of topics and areas. We've produced a handy guide for navigating the courses below. Do also keep looking out for our recorded free Economics Teacher CPD Conversations.

For teachers just finding their feet with Year 12, a useful way starting point would be to enrol on both Understanding Assessment Objectives and Teaching Introductory Economics - these are suitable for teachers of both microeconomics and macroeconomics.

For teachers specialising in Year 12 micro, we suggest then moving on to:

  1. Teaching Market Theory
  2. Teaching Externalities
  3. Teaching Market Failure Policies

For teachers specialising in Year 12 macro, we suggest then moving on to:

  1. Teaching Macro Objectives
  2. Teaching Year 12 Fiscal Policy
  3. Teaching Year 12 Monetary Policy
  4. Teaching Supply Side Policy

If you teach Year 13 micro, then we have some really comprehensive and detailed courses for you, including:

  1. Teaching Market Structures - the Edexcel version is here and the AQA version is here
  2. Teaching Competition Policy
  3. Teaching Labour Markets - the Edexcel version is here and the AQA version is here
  4. Teaching Behavioural Economics for AQA

For Year 13 macro teachers, then relevant courses for you would be:

  1. Teaching Global Economics
  2. Teaching Exchange Rates
  3. Teaching Financial Markets - the Edexcel version is here and the AQA version is here

We are also really close to finishing production of courses on Year 13 Monetary and Fiscal Policy, and Inequality and Poverty.
