Outstanding course! Really useful for new or experienced teachers with plenty of things to use on day 1. We have since booked onto the other essential courses for September.
Economics Teacher
Inspiring, funny, lots of great ideas, and resources were shared. Good discussions among the tables! Jon and Ruth are absolutely amazing and unstoppable. So happy I joined both Y12 and Y13 Macroeconomics sessions. I feel much more equipped now to teach my students in an engaging and thoughtful way!
Economics Teacher
Excellent day - the morning session on the examiner report was great for a new teacher to economics. The lesson activities in the afternoon was also well received, and has given me some good resources to use in my own lessons. Many thanks!
