New Economics CPD Course: A Level Economics TheoryBuster
This new CPD course provides a different focus from tutor2u’s AS and A2 Essential Economics courses
On the new Economics TheoryBuster course, the emphasis is less on developing understanding of assessment objectives, schemes of work and suggested teaching approaches and more on mastering the fundamental and often conceptually difficult AS and A2 theory that can be so hard to pick up from a textbook.
The first running of this course is on 26 June in Central London.
We think this course will ideally suit teachers who are experts in other fields and who are picking up economics teaching from scratch, perhaps within the context of an existing department. It will also be ideal for new teaching colleagues who are a year or so into their teaching of Economics.
Places on Economics TheoryBuster can be booked using this online form:
