Latest thoughts on the new proposed Politics specifications

Yesterday I attended the free exam board launch events / CPD in London - certainly lots of debate and discussion about how much weighting should be placed on ideologies for the full A level, amongst many other issues!

You can download my notes from the events here: (Politics New 2017 Specs Update)

And if you want a reminder of the proposed changes, you can take another look at my specification comparison document here.

As you might imagine, there is a robust discussion going on amongst over 160 A Level Politics teachers over on the A Level Politics Teacher Community on Facebook - if you are not already taking part, come over to join in!
